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

Christmas Tree Worms on Coral Reef Zanzibar

by Colleen Cannon

Vibrant green plumes of Christmas tree worms emerge from a rough, textured coral head, their feathery crowns fanned out in a dense colony. The scene sits beneath a dark volcanic reef overhang where sunlight falls through the surface as shifting ripples of teal and emerald. Fine suspended particles glitter throughout the water column, catching the dappled light that breaks the uniform green tint. The coral surface appears porous and weathered, providing a rough anchor for the soft, delicate worms. A shallow depth of field blurs the distant reef wall, keeping the focus sharp on the individual worm spirals. The finest detail rests on the translucent tip of a single plume against the dark stone.
