It is not in Christmas trees it is an organism that is very much alive. These creatures love the ocean and mostly inhabit tropical coral reefs in the Caribbean and Indo-Pacific regions. They can be found with colorful appendages which look like spiraled plumes but are actually gills for breathing and capturing food. They can be found in a variety of colors like blue, red, yellow, and orange, and pin. Each worm has two crow extending from their burrow so they get noticed by divers and snorkelers.

@snowy22315 it gots its name because its crown resembles a colorful, spiraled Christmas tree.

The underwater world is really incredible. There seems so much we don't know about it.

How interesting. It's something for divers to look forward to seeing in these areas.
