From today's Facebook post:

Behold the “wings” of the Feather Duster Worm (Sabellastarte spectabilis)! That’s right, this stunning creature is a benthic, marine polychaete—a worm! It lives in a tube of its own making, and inhabits cracks and holes in reefs. As a filter feeder, it uses its feather-like tentacles to create currents that move organic particles towards its mouth. Mesmerizing and practical! {Spotted in the Philippines by JungleDragon moderator, Albert Kang} #JungleDragon Posted 6 years ago
