The fire worm moves around like a boasting movie star at a party after winning an Academy Award. The fire worm has stinging cells that paralyze its prey and has a pinkish and bluish color to warn other animals that it is dangerous. It moves around the intertidal acting like the bully of the ocean. It has those stinging cells to protect itself and also to stun its prey for its food.

This irregular-shaped being is like a blob of water wiggling slowly under rocks with little to do. It’s small and has a slippery texture that does not seem like a worm. However, it is a worm. Although flat worms are of little use they are part of the intertidal. It is very hard to capture because it stays stuck on the rocks.

From the crazy teaching of Dr. Moreau to the simple teaching of Dr. B., worms are nature's rubber band – stretch them too far and they break. Fire worms may live even if a part of their body is gone. They are a segmented worm with repeated body organs with rings.
