This Week's Photo, European Fan Worm

This week's photo, Sabella spallanzanii, commonly known as the European Fan Worm, was taken yesterday on the wreck of "The Norma" off of North Haven. This animal is an invader to Australian waters! First found here in 1965 in Albany Harbour in WA, it is now a wide spread pest throughout Australia's southern coastal waters.

More information about this local invader can be found at http://www.fish.wa.gov.au/docs/pub/IMPMarine/IMPMarinePage14a.php?0506

Until the next post, take care out there and keep diving ( if that's what you do! ) ...Robert

Aaaargh!

Batten the hatches.

Arm the boats.

Dust off the regulators.

The Sabellas are gathering, the invasion has begun.

Report all Sabellas to your nearest Fan Worm station and be cautious at all times.

Gosh, it is a pretty pest though, isn't it?
