Please don’t be alarmed and don’t run to your Christmas Trees to look for squirmy creatures. As they say, never stop learning and once again today I learned something I did not know. Christmas Tree Worms are colorful marine worms that can be found in tropical coral reefs around the world. They have gotten their name because they look like brightly colored Christmas Trees. Follow the link to learn more and I can tell you that this blog is very interesting and informative. Image online. https://scubahanknyc.com/2023/12/25/christmas-tree-worms/

@DianneN well since you don't really stay in one place a Christmas Tree would get in the way unless you get a pocket-sized one and carry it around with you

@RasmaSandra I suffer of water phobia, I am afraid of deep water, I even never learned to swim.

@LadyDuck I can imagine how divers enjoy exploring the coral reefs. Something I would like to do but I am a poor swimmer and I am afraid of going beneath the water,
