An Osedax

"Osedax is a genus of deep-sea siboglinid polychaetes, commonly called boneworms, zombie worms, or bone-eating worms, or bone-eating snot flowers. Osedax is Latin for 'bone-eating', the name alluding to how the worms bore into the bones of whale carcasses to reach enclosed lipids, on which they rely for sustenance."
