Christmas Tree Worm

The Christmas Tree Worms are known to be one of the cuter species in the ocean. They get their name because of their christmas tree look. When a predator is near or when it feels threatened the worm will become less visible and the spikes on him will dissapear. Known as Spirobranchus giganteus, they are found on the Great Barrier Reef but have also been spotted as far away as the Caribbean.
