Gems of the Sea

                                   
                                            
Fan Tube Worm
                             
                                   
Tube worms are filter feeders, and that's the purpose of these colorful feathery fans. The body of the tube worm remains hidden inside its tube. Coral polyps form the background.

This photo was taken with a Nickonos II underwater camera with extension tube.
