Does this clade belong to

Hemichordata (as this article says)
Chaetognatha (as the taxobox in the article Animal says)?

They are most definitely hemichordates. -dwbapst (UChicago) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.135.239.152 (talk) 16:24, 3 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Worm-like

I do feel the description of Pterobranchia as "worm-like" is rather misleading. If asked to draw a worm, I think 99,99% of all persons would draw a tube-like animal. So to use the term "worm-like" is not helping in describing these sesile animals with filter-feeding arms. I'm well aware there are plenty of Polychaete filter-feeding worms, but those are certainly not the animals that will first come to mind when using the word worm (I'm willing to bet that the average person is not even aware of any filter-feeding worms). So I challenge you to find a better word. Codiv (talk) 09:54, 26 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
