A new sighting for me: a large serpulid, the red trumpet calcareous tubeworm Serpula columbiana! What a riot of colors. Found while dockfouling in Morro Bay, CA. Serpulids build hard calcareous tubes and filter feed using these appendages. 🦑🦀📸OlympusTG6.
The colorful gills and filter feeding apparatus of a large serpulid worm. We're just looking at this and not the rest of the worm; it looks like an umbrella or parasol that's light golden yellow but has reddish stripes near the edges, and a small trumpet shaped reddish organ that resembles an orchid flower is off to the left. The water is a greenish turquoise.
