marine worm
Ocean floor invertebrate
A marine worm is any worm that lives in the ocean.
The term covers a vast range of species—polychaetes, ribbon worms, peanut worms, and others—united only by their habitat and body shape.
Many burrow in sediment or attach to rocks; some build elaborate tubes.
The beach was littered with marine worm casings.
