orange fan worm @ sekudu - Oct2011

Here is a clip of an orange fan worm. The orange fanworm does not exhibit fluorescence like the white spiral fan worm in the preceding post.

The clip goes mostly dark when the black light is switched on showing that the orange fan worm's arms do not exhibit fluorescence.
