Divers capture swim with giant 'worm'

Divers in the Philippines have filmed themselves swimming with a mysterious creature resembling a giant, glowing, see-through worm.

Ryan Carpenter filmed the encounter - with what turned out to be a colony of tiny animals called a pyrosome - late last month off Ticao Island.

Mr Carpenter said the creature was about 1.2m long and 12cm wide.

"Not even the dive master had seen one before, but we later identified it as a colony of tiny animals called tunicates.”

The creature contains ornganelles which make it give off a bioluminescent glow.
