Tube worm
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The name tube worm describes several groups of marine worms that secrete tubes which they then inhabit, emerging to filter feed. The following groups include tube-dwelling filter feeders:
- The family Siboglinidae (formerly phylum Pogonophora) of beard worms.
- The phylum Phoronida of horseshoe worms.
- The class of Polychaeta of bristle worms.
