Christmas Tree Worms on Coral Reef Belize in beside a volcanic reef overhang near Belize City

Christmas Tree Worms on Coral Reef Belize

by Ingrid Matthews

Sunlight penetrates the deep blue water in distinct shafts, illuminating a volcanic reef overhang near Belize City. A colony of Christmas tree worms covers the textured coral head, their red and green spiral crowns standing out against the rough stone. Fine suspended particles glitter throughout the water column, catching the light and adding depth to the scene. The late afternoon glow casts a soft, luminous mystery over the underwater landscape. The worms remain stationary, their feathery plumes extending into the current, while the dark shadow of the overhang frames the bright cluster of marine life. Tiny bubbles rest on the coral surface near the base.
