Red Colonial Tube Worm GALLERY

Filogranella elatensis

The Red colonial Tube Worm individual is rather small, but are found in large colonies. Look for them under rock edges in water deeper than about 5 feet. They have bright red radioles with a white tube.  These are not to be confused with the Giant Red Tube Worms found at the deepest depths of the ocean living near hot springs.
