Usually in dead coral or coral rubble and seldom in living corals. It is not as commonly encountered as the banded fan worms which are usually found in living corals. Features: Fan 4-6cm in diameter. The fan is orange or yellowish, sometimes with portions that are paler or white. Some have white bands and might be a paler version of the banded fan worms. Usually found alone, rarely a few next to one another. |
