The Northern Feather Duster Worm is a fascinating marine creature that builds a beautiful tube from sand and tiny particles. Its colorful feathers wave in the water, helping it catch food like plankton!
Lebensraum: This worm lives in the ocean, often found in sandy or muddy sea floors.
The Northern Feather Duster Worm has a long, leathery tube fixed to rocks. From this tube emerge vibrant, feathery plumes that can be orange, brown, white, or red. These plumes form a circular crown, distinctly different from other worms with simpler tentacles.
