-My best friend asked me if you touch one of them, they shoot right back into the ground? That true?

Not from my experience. They do retreat but they're not super quick. I think of them as related to maybe a massive christmas tree worm.

i lightly touched one on one of my dives on saturday. it kinda stuck to my glove a little but it didn't retreat at all

Yes the sea pens will retreat if you touch them. but not fast

Thanks for the marine biology lesson!
I actually have been wondering what those were called.

Mario, you might be thinking of the Plumose Anemone. They retreat pretty quickly, but only back into their tube, not into the ground.

THIS is why I love diving! YouTube - Scuba Dive Edmonds Underwater Park July06 There are a couple of "retreats" to watch in this.
(Erika will probably recognize quite a bit of this, this is my favorite dive up there!)

Check out the nudies, and wait for the eel after the 5 min. mark!

Roll credits............ cue eel!

Cheers,
Paul
