Coral Worm

I’d never seen them before: fuzzy blue or red or orange….or purple…..or pink creatures peeking out of small tubes on the surface of coral.  Yesterday at Richardson Beach I was snorkeling in shallow water at low tide.  I saw a bright blue 2 inch fuzzy thing.  I approached it….and it disappeared down the hole…..then slowly emerged again.

Today I went back for video:
