Common name: Spoon Worms
Scientific name: Echiuroidea
Echiuroidea, commonly known as spoon worms, are a small group of marine animals characterized by their spoon-shaped proboscis. They are not commonly kept in home aquariums due to their specialized feeding habits and environmental needs. In the wild, they inhabit soft sediments where they feed on detritus and microorganisms. Their unique body structure and behavior can be fascinating, but they require expert care and are better suited for specialized or research-oriented setups rather than general reef tanks.
