<p style="font-family: 'Lato', sans-serif;Margin:0;font-size:18px;line-height:28px;Margin-top:16px;color:#1f212d;">Christmas tree worms, named for their resemblance to decorated holiday trees, are tiny, segmented worms that grow slowly and live up to four decades in a single location once they have established themselves. Unlike real Christmas trees, which grow in cooler climates, these worms prefer tropical coral reefs. </p>
<p style="font-family: 'Lato', sans-serif;Margin:0;font-size:18px;line-height:28px;Margin-top:16px;color:#1f212d;">Fun fact: The "branches" of the Christmas tree worm are actually the animal's radioles—tentacles it uses for feeding and respiration and that it retracts when sensing danger. </p>
<p style="font-family: 'Lato', sans-serif;Margin:0;font-size:18px;line-height:28px;Margin-top:16px;color:#1f212d;">Whichever type of tree you enjoy during the holidays, we wish you a joyful season and a Happy New Year. </p>
