The Sipuncula, sipunculid worms or peanut worms, are a phylum containing 144 species of marine worms, with a tentacle-surrounded mouth on a completely invertible head end. Some of the larval characteristics are similar to the mollusks.
Sipunculid worm jelly (土笋冻) is a delicacy in the town of Xiamen in Fujian province of China.
