Best of Mike #262

The central character in this scene is a.... Brown Banded Feather Duster.

When I see a scene like this.... I think garden.

Then and now, I hear a little bit of the Beatles tune.... Octopuses Garden in my head as I look at it.

Feather Dusters are worms.... still a surprise to me that things yucky on land are so beautiful underwater.

They prefer areas of the reef where there is water movement.

The swaying is often what catches my attention.... and probably the attention of whatever they call food too.

They are most often found in clusters.... like you see here.

But are a shy bunch.... instantly retracting into their tubes if you get too close.

If you are willing to wait, moitionless.... the crowns may slowly extend and reopen.
