Description
Photo of a feather duster worm on a brain coral taken in Belize by Jean Noren. he Feather Duster captures food in its "feathers" which it directs toward its mouth, located at the center of the crown. The Feather Duster feeds on phytoplankton and particulate matter in the wild.
Each head of coral is formed by a colony of genetically identical polyps which secrete a hard skeleton of calcium carbonate; this makes them important coral reef builders.
