Tube worms[edit]

In

Shelled molluscs were placed in the Testacea, together with barnacles and tube worms

i don't know enuf to confidently byp the Dab to [[[tube worm (body plan)]], tho it seems likely that would be at least better than the Dab. However, L may have only known of tube worms from one of the modern taxa that consist exclusively of tube worms; if so that one's probably the best choice.

Linnaeus just wanted a system that was easy to follow, he stated himself at several occasions that the system was man-made and artificial. I don't think he pondered the placement of tube-worms in Testacea much, beyond wether the critters in question had a hard shell or not.Petter Bøckman (talk) 10:08, 14 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
