sipunculan

fascinating article- one of these fellows appears to have roosted in a chunk of live rock i've had through several reef incarnations for nearly 10 years- it's nearly a foot long when it stretches out at night, much to our amusement. Any anecdotes about longevity with these creatures? is it more reasonable to assume i'm seeing a descendant of the original sipunculan? thanks-

Hi,

You are probably seeing the original worm. I see no reason why they can't live decades.
