The Fan Worm, also known as Feather Duster Worm, is a fascinating ocean animal belonging to the Sabellidae family. These marine creatures are sedentary filter-feeders, residing in tubes made of mucus and sediment. Their vibrant, feathery tentacles, called radioles, fan out to capture plankton and organic particles for sustenance. Fan Worms can retract their tentacles into their tubes for protection against predators. They inhabit various marine environments, including coral reefs, seagrass beds, and rocky substrates, at depths ranging from shallow waters to the deep sea. Fan Worms contribute to the marine ecosystem by maintaining water quality and providing habitat for microorganisms.
