teredinid
Teredinid, also known as shipworms, is a group of saltwater clams with long, soft, cylindrical bodies and small, shovel-like shells. They are infamous for boring into wood that is in contact with sea water, including piers and wooden ships, hence their common name. Teredinids are unique among bivalves in their complete metamorphosis from a free-swimming form to a sedentary adult form. This adaptability has made them remarkably successful in colonizing a range of environments, and they are found throughout the world's oceans.
