Sea pen. The sea pen feeds mainly on plankton. It anchors itself in the sand or mud,favourably in the path of currents,where plankton is plentiful. As a form of defence it forces water out of itself,which causes it to deflate. It then retreats into its peduncle. Photographed in the Banda Sea,Indonesia | |
