Today's worm is this incredibly draconic Diopatra sp. The genus is known as decorator worms, since they 'decorate' the outside of their tubes with all sorts of debris. This stuff then attracts prey that the worm can easily grab!

Uncharismatic Fact of the Day
When decorating for the holidays, why not ask the decorator worm to help? These worms are named both for their beautiful irridescent 'plumage' and the tunnels they construct benath the ocean floor, which are often lined with bits of algae, coral, and shells. These tubes can be up to .9 m (3 ft), and are used by the worms to hide from predators.
