Magnificent Feather Duster Worms

Magnificent Feather Duster Worms - Belize

Feather duster worms open their feathery plumage to filter plankton and other microscopic nourishment
from the ocean. Feather duster worms are found sprouting from holes in coral heads like bouquets of flowers.
These worms are extremely sensitive to movement and will pull their plumage back into their
protective tube in a split second if approached bu a fish or diver.
