Tickling the tunicates


I was working on a backlog of photo organization tonight, so here's an image from August 2019.  The striped peanut worm (Phascolosoma agassizii) has extended its introvert and is searching for food particles with its short tentacles.  The yellowish-green animals are tunicates or sea squirts (Perophora annectens).

Amazing picture!
I don't think I've ever seen the little tentacles (?) on the tip of the introvert.
