Poecilochaetus Serpens
''Poecilochaetus serpens'' is a species of marine polychaete worm in the family Poecilochaetidae. It is a benthic worm that burrows into soft sediment. Taxonomy and habitat The British marine biologist Edgar Johnson Allen first described this worm in 1904, giving it the name ''Poecilochaetus serpens''. It was originally found buried in the sand of a beach near Plymouth, England, at extreme low water of a spring tide; the shore here consists of patches of ''Zostera'' seagrass separated by patches of bare sand, and the worm was only ever found in the bare sand areas, nor was it ever found in other habitats near Plymouth. The specific name was chosen because when they were swimming, both the worm and its planktonic larva were continually wriggling. Description This segmented worm is long and slender. For example, a worm with 110 segments was in length and in width, exclusive of appendages. The prostomium (head) has a single tentacle ventrally. Behind the head are two long p ...
