Known as social feather duster worms, this colony of segmented worms can be found attached to the reef throughout the Tropic and Caribbean ocean. Living inside parchment-like tubes, they extend the feather duster-like ends of their body in order to capture any plankton drifting in the water column. They can be found in a variety of colors.
