A worm-like sea creature which eats stones and excretes sand has been studied in detail for the first time.
The Lithoredo abatanica was discovered in 2016, but scientist have now spent time finding out about how the organisms lives and functions.
It is a thick, white creature that can grow more than a metre long, and lives in fresh water, according to Science Magazine.
It was spotted on the island of Bohol in the Phillipines and researchers had their indepth work published by the Proceedings of the Royal Society B, today.
