Echiurus echiurus
[edit]- ... that the marine worm Echiurus echiurus uses its spoon-shaped proboscis to feed but not to dig its burrow? Source: "The proboscis is turned upward and backward and remains thus with its edges somewhat rolled in and takes no part in the burrowing." and ".. through which the proboscis is thrust in search of food when the tide is in."
- Reviewed: Margit Bokor
- Comment: The description in the source is for Echiurus pallassii, but this name is no longer valid, being considered to be a synonym of Echiurus echiurus.
