Korean lugworm
Perinereis aibuhitensis
Adults inhabit coastal mudflats and estuaries, spending much of their time in sediment burrows. They emerge or extend from their tunnels to seize small animals, scavenge organic matter, and feed among the mud. The muscular, bristled body can rapidly anchor in a burrow while the eversible jawed pharynx captures food.
