Sand Worm Wet Specimen Nautical Display SandWorm or Lugworm biology marine

sw#2 

This is the sandworm you will be receiving.  This specimen is nicely sealed in a glass test tube with a wax head over the cork.  See last picture for size of this which is approx. 9 x 2 x 1 1/2" 13".    

Species and fun facts:  The lugworm or sandworm (species-Arenicola marina) is a large marine worm of the phylum Annelida. Its coiled castings are a familiar sight on a beach at low tide but the animal itself is rarely seen except by those who, from curiosity or to use as fishing bait, dig the worm out of the sand.

Please note:  If your container has a wax top, it will be shipped with the alcohol (this is just a small amount), bagged and wrapped for safety to keep the alcohol sealed in the container.  

 The wax seal helps prevent leakage and adds cool, finished look. If you need to replace the alcohol, the seal can be easily peeled away. Put the wax in a small microwave safe container, melt it in the microwave, dip the top in to reseal or you will have to purchase your own wax to reseal it again. Refill ONLY with 70% Isopropyl alcohol.  If choosing to remove the specimen follow these precautions: 

These are not for Human or Animal consumption.  Product is not alive or edible. Use gloves and mask when handling specimens.  

 

 ISOPROPYL AND FORMALIN IN THE PRODUCT IS FLAMMABLE! KEEP AWAY FROM HEAT AND OPEN FLAME.
