Picture of the day

Two specimens of Pectinaria koreni (a species of the ice cream cone worm polychaete). These worms build sand tubes that roughly resemble ice cream cones hence its name. The upper one is ensconced within its tube, and the lower one is the worm. In both pictured worms, the head is to the right.Photo: Hans Hillewaert
