Urechis unicinctus , known as the fat innkeeper worm or penis fish , [2] [3] is a species of marine spoon worm in East Asia . It is found in Bohai Gulf of China and off the Korean and Hokkaido coasts. [3] It is not to be confused with a closely related species, Urechis caupo , which occurs on the western coast of North America and shares common names. [4] The body is about 10β30Β cm long, cylindrical in shape and yellowish-brown in color. On the surface of the body there are many small papillae.
This spoonworm is a detritivore , feeding on detritus , and like other species of Urechis , lives and burrows in sand and mud. It creates a U-shaped burrow in the soft sediment of the seabed. A ring of glands at the front of the proboscis secrete mucus which sticks to the burrow wall. The worm continues to exude mucus as it moves backwards in the burrow thus creating a mucus net. The worm draws water through its burrow by peristaltic contractions of its body and food particles adhere to the net. When enough food is gathered, the worm moves forward in its burrow and swallows the net and entangled food. This process is repeated, and in an area with plenty of detritus, may be completed in only a few minutes. [5] [6]
Large numbers have been known to become stranded on beaches in Japan, but further studies must be dedicated as to why. The original theory was that it was beached solely due to sea storms, but scientists also theorize that they swim at night to reproduce, which would raise the chances of beachings. [7]
In Korea, they are eaten as food, [8] often raw with salt and sesame oil or gochujang . They are distributed in Korea, Hokkaido , and the Pacific coast.
In Chinese cuisine , the worm is stir-fried with vegetables, or dried and powdered to be used as an umami enhancer.
It is also used as fishing bait for fish such as flounder and sea bream . [8]

A horde of large, fat worms descended upon a central California beach, spooked out of their burrows by a bomb cyclone .
Wildlife enthusiast David Ford captured the foreboding scene, which looks as though a plane full of frankfurters flung open the hatch and let the dogs rain down upon the unassuming shore.
What were these alien creatures, and whyβd they end up on shore?
Ford sent his quandary and the surreal images of the Drakes Beach shore to Bay Nature magazine , a local science p
