Talk:Common clam worm

This use of the term bloodworm is unusual. The polychaete usually called a blooodworm is Glycera. WormRunner 18:39, 23 Jan 2004 (UTC)

It was a muddle. An anonymous user had put in some information that was a mixture of correct clamworm (Nereis) material (from a Chesapeake Bay site - near copy vio) and correct bloodworm material. I am separating them out as best I can, but we need a polychaetiologist on this. seglea 01:03, 24 Jan 2004 (UTC)
