There are some weird, almost alien, but stunning animals in marine world. A huge number of them need a close look to apreciate their beauty, like most of Chrismas-tree Worms (Spirobranchus sp.) in central american pacific. This bentonic annelids are sedentary and live within a calcium carbonate tunnel, spending most of their adult (not larval) life filtering water with colorful and pretty conspicious organs, witch give to those worms their name, called radiols. Color patterns are quite diverse within one species. They are common in tropical waters all around the world. #nature #costarica #ocean #wildlife #marinelife #annelids #polychaeta #polychaeteworm #christmastreeworm #spirobranchus #underwater #underwaterphotography #macrophoto

•Antarctica Series. Creatures and sights of the Scotia Arc.•⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Antarctica features a wide variety of feather worms (Sabellidae). This is a Euchone removed from its tube. It has a beautiful delicate crown to filter-feed with. Euchone are easy to recognize owing to their strange sucker-like depression at the posterior end of the body. This may be a new species.⠀ • • • • • • • • • • • • #featherworm #featherdusterworm #fanworm #sabellid #antarctica #annelids #polychaete #deepsea #underthesea #sealife #sea #scrippsoceanography #oceanography #ocean #oceanpic #oceanpics #oceanphotos #oceanphotography #oceanphotographer #oceanphotographers #underwater #underwaterpic #underwaterpics #underwaterphotos #underwaterphotographer #underwaterphotographers #underwaterphotography #ucsd #ucsandiego ⠀

•Antarctica Series. Creatures and sights of the Scotia Arc.•⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Antarctica features a wide variety of feather worms (Sabellidae). Here is a Perkinsiana specimen removed from its tube. You can see the normal segmented worm-like body with the large feathery crown that is used for filter-feeding. This is basically the transformed head of the worm. Most sabellids breed sexually and have separates sexes. They either spawn out into the water and have no more to do with their offspring or, in many cases, the females 'brood' their babies in their tubes. In a few cases, such as this Perkinsiana, they also add on asexual reproduction to their reproductive strategy; the back end of the body breaks off and develops its own crown and crawls out of the tube and builds it own and starts independent life.⠀ •⠀ •⠀ •⠀ •⠀ •⠀ •⠀ •⠀ •⠀ •⠀ •⠀ •⠀ •⠀ #featherworm #featherdusterworm #fanworm #sabellid #antarctica #annelids #polychaete #southshetlands #deepsea #underthesea #sealife #sea #scrippsoceanography #oceanography #ocean #oceanpic #oceanpics #oceanphotos #oceanphotography #oceanphotographer #oceanphotographers #underwater #underwaterpic #underwaterpics #underwaterphotos #underwaterphotographer #underwaterphotographers #underwaterphotography #ucsd #ucsandiego ⠀

•Antarctica Series. Creatures and sights of the Scotia Arc.•⠀⠀⠀⠀ Antarctica features a wide variety of feather worms (Sabellidae). This is a Perkinsiana species. There are two sandy tubes with their bases covered with a pale colonial sea squirt. One of the worms (left tube) is withdrawn and the other has projected its feathery crown. This is used for filter-feeding on small plankton.⠀ •⠀⠀⠀⠀ •⠀⠀⠀⠀ •⠀⠀⠀⠀ •⠀⠀⠀⠀ •⠀⠀⠀⠀ •⠀⠀⠀⠀ •⠀⠀ •⠀ •⠀ •⠀ •⠀ • #featherworm #featherdusterworm #fanworm #sabellid #antarctica #annelids #polychaete #southshetlands #deepsea #underthesea #sealife #sea #scrippsoceanography #oceanography #ocean #oceanpic #oceanpics #oceanphotos #oceanphotography #oceanphotographer #oceanphotographers #underwater #underwaterpic #underwaterpics #underwaterphotos #underwaterphotographer #underwaterphotographers #underwaterphotography #ucsd #ucsandiego ⠀

Why am I so happy? Because I'm holding a handful of huge worms thriving in our garden beds 💙 You can't tell, but they're resplendent in iridescent, rainbow beauty - so many glimmering sheens of bright green, metallic blue, shining turquoise, dark violet, and even some gold. Like living labradorite and moonstone 💙🌈💙 I really, truly love worms. I didn't used to. But since I've been really getting involved in the garden and spent time just holding them, I realized how actually beautiful they are - and so beneficial! All we have to do is give them good organic matter and let them do their thing, and they replenish the soil with ridiculous, unbelievable efficiency. They restore, I think it is, seven times the nitrogen than was there before, and scientists haven't figured out how. They're truly amazing creatures 💜 Is it too much to say I'm honored I get to be them when I die? 🌠 #earthworms #worms #iridescent #beautiful #gardensecrets #hiddenbeauty #iloveworms #replenishsoils #gardenhealth #beautifulworms #annelids #gardenfun

What has three jaws, no spine and a bright orange belly? Meet the North American Leech. This captivating creature uses its muscular body in addition to two suckers (a larger one on the posterior end and a smaller oral sucker) to navigate its environment. Once it has found a suitable target (generally reptiles or fishes) it latches on and forms a three pronged cut in the target's skin. Usually when reptile or fish skin is cut, blood coagulates to prevent further loss. However, leeches secrete a blood thinner to prevent this from happening, ensuring that the blood they consume flows freely.
