European Fan Worm [Spirographis]

Description

Spirographis is a genus known for its large and visually striking species, sometimes referred to as the European Fan Worm. They have a large, spiraled crown of tentacles used for filter feeding and gas exchange. These worms construct tough, calcareous tubes on rocky substrates, often in areas with strong currents, which aids in their feeding efficiency.
