Disco worm!

Has anyone seen this worm before in your rocks?

Its 'feathers' is like fibre-optic wires, transparent but when they catch the light, they are like holograms... reflecting mainly red and orange with a bit of green and blue.

I was sitting down watching my tank when this tiny red flash kept catching my eye....

I grabbed my cam... and although I must say it was at maximum zoom... I managed to catch it and here's the pix!

Dun koe if its the same one u r toking about...but in my X'mas tree rock....I do have this worm with about 1.5cm long fine fishing-line/ optical fibre like tentacles but it does not seem to "move" about....

Though it will hide back into the rock when frightened.

Hmmm.... <_<

I'm gonna break the cycle

I'm gonna shake up the system

I'm gonna destroy my ego

I'm gonna close my body now

AT,

very nice leh.. from the pic (not too clear), it look something like a starfish... but from what i know.. it might be predatory.. coz some of this living organism uses such lights to attract fishes...

oh yes, i recall seeing a red flame scallop doing the same.. coz it be the larve of the same thing?

Let us work together to preserve the world for our children to inherit by being responsible to our surroundings. Take nothing but pictures, leave nothing but footprints, bubbles and memories.
