There are many colorful worms in the sea, and the peacock tassels are like fireworks, not only have a variety of different colors, but also stretch out to prey on them like fireworks that cannot be extinguished.
The peacock tassel silkworm, a marine worm, belongs to the link animal phylum. Not only do these worms look like fireworks, but even the shelters they use to hide themselves are like stick-type fireworks that we put off when we are young, and they can't look like gods.
These beautiful little bugs are about 10 to 25 cm long, mainly distributed in the Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea and other places, from a distance they look like fireworks, up close and like peacocks opening the screen, extremely beautiful.
They live in a tube about 30 to 40 centimeters long, which they make by gluing the soil with mucus, except for a few centimeters of exposed water, the rest is in the mud in order to protect themselves.
When they prey, they will extend their pyrotechnic tentacles into the seawater to catch everything they can eat, use the secreted mucus to capture the organic or inorganic particles suspended in the water, and then the cilia in the body of the peacock tassel silkworm will constantly swing, and these tiny particles will be eaten down the tentacles, or use these particles to make its tubes, of course, they will also breathe with the tentacles.
The tube for the survival of the peacock tassel silkworm
All worms have the same property, that is, when an object approaches them, they will quickly retract back to their shelter, and so do the peacock tassels, which are simply beautiful in their shrinking and stretching.
