The marine finworm split from its ancestor, the mud finworm. It has returned to the sea where it feeds on marine droopgea. Its dark coloration helps it camouflage itself among the marine droopgea. It has 12 eyes to keep look out for prey as well as 4 feelers on its beak for navigating at night.
It will lay its eggs in clusters on the trunks of marine droopgea. When hatched, the offspring will hide amongst the marine droopgea tentacle-like branches. They are still air breathers so they must quickly go to the surface for air and then go back down to hide. When they swim they move their tail back and forth as well as flap their "wing-fins"; they cannot fly however.
