EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of a Feather duster worm, specifically the tentacled polychaete known as Branchiomma arctica.

The image highlights not only the elegance of these creatures but also their importance within marine ecosystems. As an invertebrate species belonging to the family Sabellidae, they play a crucial role in maintaining biodiversity and ecological balance underwater. With its head prominently displayed and every single detail carefully captured, this photograph invites viewers into a mesmerizing world beneath the waves. It serves as a reminder of nature's remarkable diversity and complexity that often goes unnoticed by human eyes. This stunning print from Science Photo Library is perfect for nature enthusiasts or anyone with an appreciation for wildlife photography.
