Image of a marine bristle worm, Lagis koreni, otherwise known as the 'Ice Cream Cone worm' along with its cast.

This worm builds its delicate tube home out of a thin layer of sand grains cemented by secretions of the worm's body The tube is just one sand grain thick with the individual sand grains positioned tight up against each other, forming a beautiful mosaic.
