Christmas tree worms

• Spirobranchus giganteus, commonly known as
  Christmas tree worms, are small, tube-building
  polychaete worms belonging to the family
  Serpulidae.
• The worm is aptly named both its common and
  Latin names refer to the two chromatically hued
  spiral structures, the most common feature seen
  by divers. Actually, the multicolored spirals are
  merely the worm's highly derived respiratory
  structures.
• S. giganteus is similar to most tube-building
  polychaetes. It has a tubular, segmented
  body.Because it does not move outside its tube,
  this worm does not have any specialized
  appendages for movement or swimming.

More about Christmas tree worms

• The worms most distinct features are two
  "crowns" shaped like Christmas-trees. These are
  are specialized mouth appendages.
• Christmas tree worms are widely distributed
  throughout the world's tropical oceans. They have
  been known to occur from the Caribbean to the
  Indo-Pacific.
• As sedentary inhabitants of coral reefs,
  Christmas tree worms feed primarily by filter
  feeding. They use their brightly colored radioles
  to filter microorganisms from the water, which
  are then deposited straight into the worm's
  digestive tract.

The Zones

1. Each table team will be assigned one of the four
   beach types. Your team will be responsible for
   creating an environment on the poster that best
   portrays your environment You may use the mud,
   sand shells and rocks available in the classroom.
   Make sure to leave room for pictures of the
   appropriate organisms in your poster. You may
   place your finished product on the back lab
   tables.

The project

1. You will be given a picture. You must find the
   other student who has the matching picture. This
   is your partner for the invertebrate project.
2. You will be using the criteria sheet to make a
   power point about your organism. Wed. you will
   be going to
