Lugworm - inny & outy signs

The pattern of the cast and the depression (blow hole) is characteristic of the Blow Lug Arenicola marina.

The other lugworm species on Norfolk shores produces a much more tightly wound cast with the depressionnear the centre of the mound. Arenicola defodiens and has a preference for being near the low tide mark.

To finally see a lugworm - Amazing

There are two species that live in the sand Arenicola marina (Blow Lug) and Arenicola defodiens (Black Lug)

It's all in the casts and I didn't look close enough so which species??

But because this one was unusually on the surface it is recognisable as Blow Lug (Arenicola marina)
