Feather duster worm

Sending out an egg string.

Intriguing and colourful too.

Interesting creatures in many different colours and quite difficult to get a shot of.

As soon as they detect your presence they dart back into their tube. So what often happens is you slowly close in, frame the shot, focus and in the delay between pressing the shutter fully and capturing the image the worm disappears and you end up with a vacant tube!

Good thing is if you're patient it will come back out again.

Here's another keeping company with a Doughboy Scallop.
