Feather duster


Yes, you guessed it, another outstanding tubeworm.  This one is a Giant Feather Duster Worm, Eudistylia polymorpha.  It was also photographed in Monterey County on 31 August 2019.  You can find this species locally, although the individuals we see in Bodega Bay are more often a solid, deep red/maroon color.

Loving the beautiful pictures of worms.
I don't get out to the tidepools very often, so these are a special treat.
Thanks for sharing your wonderful photography.
