Spirobranchus lamarcki

This is actually a species of worm but you will rarely see the worm itself (except I was lucky enough to film in the below video), because it forms a calclium carbonate stone shell around itself for protection. These white tubes often covers rocks on the rocky shore and should be one to watch you fingers on when lifting a rock as they have a sharp edge and I often get ‘paper’ cuts from their shell!
