Magelona dakini
Magelona dakini is a small, thin, shovel-nosed burrowing worm with limited mobility.[2][3] Adults grow up to 70mm long.[3] Magelonids build meandering burrows, usually below the top 20mm of sediment, in medium to fine sands.[3] They occur across the mid-intertidal and subtidal zones to the continental slope.[3]
