Christmas tree worm

Spirobranchus giganteus

Description:

Do not use a Christmas tree worm for a Christmas tree. It might be beautiful BUT the branches would have moving hairs on them and your decorations, lights, presents and even small pets walking past would get pulled in at the base, spiral up the tree and disappear in a hole at the top. Not only that, if you scared it, the whole tree would disappear in an instant and perhaps worst of all, a massive worm about the length of a bus would be living under your house.
