Espirografo (tubeworm)


The beauty of this family cannot be understated.  Tubeworms like this master example remind me of grace in motion.  They are very timid animals and withdraw into their tubes at the slightest hint of motion or light.  To photograph one fully exposed fills me with a sense of satisfaction, though the light could have been better.  This one measured approximately 8 inches across by 10 inches or so from top to bottom.  A filter-feeding marvel.  Enjoy.
