Myxicola infundibulum Schlicksabelle

Myxicola infundibulum (Montagu, 1808)

Dieser Röhrenwurm lebt in sandigen oder schlammigen Böden, bis zu einer Tiefe von 500 Metern, häufig in vor starken Wellen geschützten Bereichen.
Der Wurm lebt in einer dicken, zylindrischen bis zu 20 cm langen, transparenten Röhre, die fast vollständig im weichem Sediment begraben bleibt.
Die Farbe der Tentakelkrohne ist variabel, oft lila, braun, gelb, weiß oder orange.

Wie alle Röhrenwürmer zieht sich dieser Wurm bei Störung blitzschnell in die Wohnröhre zurück und kann diese bis auf die Hälfte zusammenziehen.
