Oh, Christmas Tree
Uploaded: December 10, 2007
A Christmas tree worm. A tube-dwelling worm that lives in the coral reefs of the tropics and come in a multitude of colors. When their plumes are extended, as in this photo, they’re feeding on suspended particles, or plankton, in the water. This particular worm is about 1” tall.
Underwater shot taken during the day in Curacao using 105mm lens, at f22 & 1/125. External strobes were used for lighting the subject.

BetterPhoto Websites: If you see an orange website link directly under the photographer's name, it's totally okay. It's not spam. The reason: BetterPhoto is the one that offers these personal photography websites. We are supporting our clients with those links.
Unavailable EXIF: If there is no other information but 'Unavailable' in the EXIF (meaning no EXIF data exists with the photo), the 'Unavailable' blurb is not displayed. If there is any info, it shows. Many photos have the EXIF stripped out when people modify the image and resave it, before uploading.
