Volcanic Vent Freak

Miss Cellania sent me this photo and it literally made me cringe from the computer--and I thought I was pretty hardened after almost a year and a half of posting on ugly critters...

You're looking into the mug of an annelid wom, found near a deep-sea volcanic vent. It looks like a muppet gone wrong. Perhaps Jim Hensen stayed up too late one night and forgot his coffee.

That looks like a muppet in a luchadore mask!

...I think I've been watching too much Mexican wrestling lately.

You've got to love the flexibility of the vermicular body plan. :D
