Good to see an image of this little known creature. There is a stunning diversity of animals in marine habitats, which is very little documented. It would be great if you could provide some info too.

Thanx Abhishek, very sorry I am not able to give any information of this species, exept I know that they feed on plankton. Also I,ve seen Green & Red color Tube Worms, unfortunately could not photograph it.

This is so colourful and interesting. Not sure how many lifetimes we need to really study and understand all these species. Thanks for sharing.

Cheers,
