Is it a plant or a sea worm

Gus Perkowski

  The Green spoon worm is found hidden in coral rocks of Australia and if you were a creature that looked like this you too would try to hide from the rest of the world. This is one of the weirdest bugs I have ever seen and technically it is not a worm or bug. The amazing thing about this thing is the female is like 200 000 times bigger than the male. the male green worm spends entire life in the females sexual chambers cleaning and fertilizing her eggs for hatching. A pretty dull life when one considers it and I imagine this evolutionary process is one of the strangest ones you will find in the ecosystem. I just wonder if this thing is a delicacy in Asian restaurants.
