“I just love you, whenever I look at you my mood lightens up, seeing your beautiful face I think how lucky I am to have you in my life, when I am having a bad day and I come and see you and you are just as excited as I am it warms my heart. I just love you so, so much.” ~ Me to my dog
are tube-building, segmented bristle worms that live in tropical oceans. Named for their tree-like appearance, the multicolored spirals are actually highly derived structures for feeding and respiration.
Because it does not move outside its tube, this worm does not have any specialized appendages for movement or swimming. Instead, it bores into living coral, secretes a calcium carbonate tube around its body, and survives by filter feeding. (xxxxxxx)
