Building a house out of sand: polychaetes and the honeycomb worm

Описание: Many people find worms disgusting and slimy, but really they are a beautiful and diverse group of animals that play many important roles in nearly every ecosystem. The episodes focuses on a group of worms called annelids and talks about the major family groups, their evolution and some famous species. But the main part of the episode is about my favourite polychaete - the honeycomb worm. This beautiful reef building beastie can be found on many coasts around Europe and as a kid I grew up seeing them on the beach. Enjoy!
