sealord > This photograph of a small stone from Belle Greve Bay, Guernsey covered in crustose coralline algae shows various holes.  The larger dark holes are made by the polychaete worm Polydora sp., which is in the family spionidae.  These burrowing or tube-forming worms have long filaments or palps attached to the head, which extend out of the holes they make.  A pair of palps can be seen in the upper right-hand corner of the image.  They appear as thin white lines. The smaller holes ringed with white are reproductive structures of the red algae.
