Summary
[edit].jpg&action=edit§ion=1){kind=link}
| Description | So here it is, the Fleshy Sea Pen. I was fascinated at the true resemblance to an old quill type fountain pen- heck, I thought I could almost dip this animal into a pot of ink and write with it! Although named after their feather-like appearance reminiscent of antique quill pens, only sea pen species belonging to the suborder Subselliflorae live up to the comparison. There are 16 families within the order; they are thought to have a cosmopolitan distribution in tropical and temperate waters worldwide. Using their root-like peduncles to anchor themselves in sandy or muddy substrate, the exposed portion of sea pens may rise up to over 6.5 ft in some species, such as the tall sea pen (Funiculina quadrangularis). Sea pens are sometimes brightly coloured; the orange sea pen (Ptilosarcus gurneyi seen here) is a notable example. Rarely found above depths of 10 metres, sea pens prefer deeper waters where turbulence is less likely to uproot them. Some species may inhabit depths of 2,000 metres (6,600 ft) or more. More notes and another picture appear immediately after this in the next caption. (Toronto, Canada, Nov.2015) |
