Hydroids and tube worms

Today I had some fun with Hydroids and tube worms.

This guy was really cool.

Some more normal looking hydroids.

I like the way the center is out of focus and your eye circles around the in-foucs ring.

Identical Twins.

I got distracted.....

I can't imagine how I missed a post entitled "xxxx and tube worms"! Really nice stuff - especially the Ralpharia and the single serpulid. You're right - the eyes just keep travelling roung & round the circle - the energy just zips!

Thanks Leslie. Here this one is just for you. Unfortunately both pictures I took were out of focus. But have you ever seen a christmas tree worm with only one gill.

Back at ya, BB. Never. Very odd. I wonder if a fish got the other gill or if it's a genetic abnormality but I guess we'll never know.
