My polychaete worm in the aquarium, about 6 inches long stretched out. |
Zooming in. Those green fang-like structures are just palps, sensory organs. So are all the tentacles. |
Standing tall |
At one point while I was watching, Mr. Worm stretched out and up to the surface of the water. He moved too fast for me, so I ended up cutting off the tips of his palps. And he never gave me a second chance.
very cool!
ReplyDeleteThe colours are lovely!! Although I am not sure I would want him in my house...
ReplyDeleteThe roses are wonderful in the next post, too!
I don't mind him in my house, since he's behind glass. On occasion, I've had him - very briefly and by accident - in my hand. I jumped and yelped. I don't want him there!
