Feather duster worm (Bispira guinensis) — size comparison — facts and sources
Bispira guinensis is a polychaete whose flexible tube protects most of its body. A feathery crown of thin branched radioles extends from the opening.
The crown captures suspended food and exchanges gases, retracting rapidly when disturbed. Groups may occur but each occupies its own tube, sometimes coated with sand and detritus.
