(Based on my limited knowledge of worms, I have attempted to analyse the worm on a string as a real species of worm.)
The Squirmle, or worm on a string as it is commonly known, is a species of bristleworm. They’re classified under the class polychaeta for their many setae, which resemble fur. They’re free living marine worms. They have eyespots on top of their heads, which look like googly eyes. They’re not capable of full sight, and can only detect light. They have a single long antennae which is where they get the name, worm on a string, as it appears that they are attached to a string. They use this antennae to attract small prey by waving it around. The squirmle has a complete digestive system. And like some annelids, they’re hermaphroditic. They do not exhibit regenerative properties like flatworms do. Squirmle are segmented worms and have a true coelom.
The worm on a string is commonly found in shallow, tropical waters. They inhabit coral reefs, typically living in small burrows where they’re safe from predators. They’re often eaten by larger fish and eels. Their many colors are well suited for hiding among the brightly colored corals. Squirmles come in all colors and patterns. Including a rarely seen black squirmle. Their many colors help them camouflage among the brightly colored reefs.
They get their name from the way they move. They squirm through the water, earning the name squirmle. They can squirm quickly back to their hole at the first detection of danger. Adult Squirmles can grow up to 8.5 inches long and half an inch wide.
