Hunt for a Blue Tube Worm that's Not
I am sure we all know the blue tube worm Spirobranchus cariniferus but there is also the Spirobranchus taeniatus which looks exactly the same except for one distinguishing feature:
single crest running the length of the tube and the pinkish-purple bar along the base of the crest
This has only been spotted once in Rodney so can we find any more? (The obs with more info)
NOTE: The blue tube worm Spirobranchus cariniferus has a blue bar as seen in the photo below
Happy Hunting!

Ill look out for them next time I see some spirobranchus.
Great! I have decided to take a really close look at spirobranchus the next time I see them - I would love to find the S.cariniferus
