There are more bizarre creatures in the depths of the dark sea than we can imagine. This vaguely phallic being lives in places where he doesn't need to do anything but grab on to some eminence of coral or rock and wait for dinner to float by. He's a tube worm near a volcanic ocean floor oven so his dinner is already cooked when it arrives. His chaotic appearance is actually well-designed for freedom of motion if he must reach out to get dinner delivered. The delivery fish escapes before he becomes dinner himself.
