To get into the Christmas spirit I thought I would have a quick countdown of my top 8 Christmas related marine organisms. So, here they are!
8. Shepherd's beaked whale (Tasmacetus shepherdi)
7. Angel sharks (Squatina spp.)
6. Western snowy plover (Charadrius nivosus)
5. Christmas wrasse (Halichoeres ornatissimus)
4. Jingle shells (Anomiidae family)
3. Candy cane goby (Awaous flavus)
2. Snowflake moray eel (Echidna nebulosa)
1. Christmas tree worm (Spirobranchus giganteus)
It's not a big surprise that the Christmas tree worm gained my number one spot! They are one of the most beautiful marine invertebrates you will ever see and they come in such a wide variety of colours.
Thanks for reading!
