Generally we don't put images on disambiguation pages, see Wikipedia:Manual of Style (disambiguation pages)#Images. I deleted the attempt by IP editor 71.225.49.71 to place an image on this page. Disambiguation pages are not articles. -- Bejnar 00:33, 11 September 2007 (UTC)
I agree with Eluchil404, edit 02:06, 23 February 2008, that the Onychophora ( Velvet worm) don't belong on this list. The Velvet worm article notes that all extant species are terrestrial. -- Bejnar ( talk) 16:25, 23 February 2008 (UTC)
I made this a disambiguation page because the various animals sometimes or always called sea worms were quite disparate. LittleWink suggests that it is better as a Set index article because they are all animals. The major difference between those types of pages, absent formatting, is that the disambiguation page is unabashedly for ease of reader navigation, while a set index article provides both navigation, and discussion of the shared characteristic(s) of the listed topics. Even though all of these sea worms are animals, thus have a shared characteristic, they are so diverse as to defy discussion of that common characteristic, other than to note it. It is important to remember that just because a set on a disambiguation page has a shared characteristic, other than name, does not require that it be a set index page. It would impede the navigational function to elaborate on non-shared characteristics of particular sea worms. -- Bejnar ( talk) 19:44, 13 August 2014 (UTC)
We can start with something like this, and fill in the missing cells:
Taxonomic name | Description | Size |
Acanthocephala | parasitic worm | varies greatly, from a few millimeters up to 65 centimeters |
Annelida | segmented worms | |
Chaetognatha | arrow worms | |
Cycliophora | lobster worms | |
Entoprocta | a phylum of mostly sessile aquatic animals; name means "anus inside" | ranges from 0.1 to 7 millimetres (0.0039 to 0.28 in) |
Echiura | spoon worms | |
Gastrotricha | microscopic | |
Gnathostomulida | microscopic | |
Hemichordata | a phylum of marine deuterostome animals generally considered the sister group of the echinoderms | |
Kinorhyncha | a phylum of marine pseudocoelomate invertebrates, widespread in mud or sand at all depths, also called "mud dragons" | small (1 mm or less) |
Loricifera | a phylum of marine sediment-dwelling animals with twenty-two described species in eight genera | very small to microscopic |
Micrognathozoa | microscopic | |
Nematoda | round worms | |
Nematomorpha | parasitic worms | |
Nemertea | ribbon worms | |
Phoronida | horseshoe worms | |
Platyhelminthea | flatworms | |
Priapulida | a phylum of marine worms | |
Sipuncula | peanut worms | |
Xenoturbellida | a genus of bilaterian animals containing two marine worm-like species |
