Vermetid worm snail. Vermetid worms, or worm snails, are a species of sea snail gastropod. Vermetid gastropods are unusual snails in that they secrete the calcareous tube in which they live. This one has an operculum (lid) covering the open end of its tube. These marine organisms feed by trapping particles in a mucous net. Photographed off North Sulawesi, Indonesia. | |
