Cold marine dweller... some kind of tube worm?

That is a tube or fan worm. Nice coloration. Where did you find it?

In Port Phillip Bay. I wasn't even sure it was a creature because it just looked like a piece of twig. But twigs don't usually leave drag marks in the sand so I knew there was something interesting in there.
It does have such beautiful purples in the fan, I've had to constantly move it back to a good viewing position as the crab and yabbies have other ideas on where they would like it to live.

Hi DJ and :welcome:

Are there a lot of folks with cold water tanks in Melbourne? Where do you purchase your livestock, or do you collect it yourself?
