Spiral tube-worm

Spiral tube-worm
Sabella spallanzanil

Geographical Distribution:
Atlantic, The English Channel, Mediterranean Sea

Biology:
This is a worm (Annelida sedentary) consists of a flexible tube fixed on a rock or sand. His magnificent branchial plume allows it to capture micro - bodies on which it feeds. The spirograph is very sensitive to vibration, and the less alert, they shrink in their tube.

 

The marine worms are undoubtedly the most natural baits used by fishermen. Beware, the spirograph is an endangered species on the coast Mediterranean, so the samples must be moderate.
