Something like feather duster worms?

Could be I guess. They would close up when you get too close.

That photo was taken in the Bahamas (Bimini).archman:
Thought so. I can I.D. everything in the photo! Well, almost everything. I can't ever keep my gorgonian genera straight.Warren_L:
The worms in question are a colony of Bispira brunnea, your "Social Feather Duster". They can occur in other colors, but this is one of the more common ones.

Well, in the Caribbean you only have two choices... oh and I suppose you could count their hybridized form. I assume its far more complicated in the Pacific?

I was wondering about this myself. Could someone take some soft corals (reds, yellows etc.) from the Indo-Pacific and transplant them in the Caribbean? Or even Indo-Pacific clownfishes for that matter?
