Christmas tree worms have crowns that resemble the fir trees that gave them their festive name. These crowns are used to absorb oxygen and filter food like phytoplankton from the surrounding water.

Christmas tree worms live in corals that protect their soft bodies from predators. They stay hidden in the coral burrows, with only their colorful crowns visible, quickly disappearing if threatened!
