Neptune's Garden is a collection of what can be thought of as Flowers of the Ocean. Of course these are not really flowers but small animals collectively known as tube worms. The bristle worms in this gallery are Christmas-tree worms and feather dusters. These worms keep most of their body (the ugly worm part) hidden in tubes within the coral keeping only the crown (the really beautiful part) out for respiration and filter feeding. When approached, these beautiful crowns are retracted instantaneously until all perceived dangers has passed. Like flowers, they come in never ending variations of colors and make wonderful images of detail and grace. The christmas-tree worm crowns are about 1/2 to 1 inch across and there are 2 crowns on each worm. The Feather Duster worms have single crowns that may be as large as3-4 inches.
