Bispira volutacornis
This gorgeous pair was in a fairly deep fissure. Juan and I tried to photograph them, and I got lucky. They are tiny members of the tubeworm family, barely 2-3 inches across. Like all tubeworms, they capture their food with their numerous "feathers", which act in a similar way as a fine-mesh net, capturing its food and then channeling it downward to its mouth. Very beautiful, though tiny, creatures.
