Worms

Diverse & varied

Marine worms are so different



Marine worms are extremely varied ranging from filigran feather fan and Christmastree worms through agressive two meter long Bobbit worms that lunge with lightning speed toward their fish prey before crushing them with their 4 cm wide jaws. Polyclad flatworms however awake the most interest in divers.

The title image on this page really is a worm, the ‘Tornaria' larva of an Acorn worm.
