Vermetid worm colony

Vermetid worm colony. Vermetid worms, or worm snails, (Dendropoma maxima) are a species of seal snail gastropod. Vermetid gastropods are unusual snails in that they secrete the calcareous tube in which they live. These ones have operculums (lids) covering the open ends of their tubes. They feed by trapping particles in a mucous net. Photographed in Komodo National Park, Indonesia

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a mesmerizing Vermetid worm colony, captured in the depths of Komodo National Park, Indonesia. These unique creatures, known as Vermetid worms or worm snails (Dendropoma maxima), belong to the seal snail gastropod species. What sets them apart is their ability to secrete calcareous tubes that serve as their protective homes. In this image, we can observe the intricate details of these vermetid gastropods' colonies. Each tube is covered by an operculum or lid at its open end, adding another layer of fascination to their already intriguing nature. The vermetids employ a clever feeding technique by ensnaring particles in a delicate mucous net. The photograph beautifully captures the diversity and complexity found within marine biology. It offers us a glimpse into the vibrant world beneath the waves where these mollusks thrive. As part of Indonesia's rich fauna and diverse underwater ecosystem, these Indonesian sea snails contribute to Southeast Asia's biological tapestry. Georgette Douwma skillfully immortalizes this moment with her lens, allowing us to appreciate both the beauty and scientific significance of these remarkable organisms. This stunning visual representation serves as a reminder of our planet's incredible biodiversity and encourages us to explore further into the wonders that lie beneath our oceans' surfaces.
