It is commonly known as the green spoon worm[4] and is found in shallow waters around Australia. DescriptionThe female worm has a sac-like trunk with a length of about {{convert|73|mm|in|1|abbr=on}} and a width of {{convert|22|mm|in|1|abbr=on}}. In front of the mouth is an extensible proboscis of about {{convert|63|mm|in|1|abbr=on}} with a forked tip. The proboscis has a ciliated groove on the underside along which food particles are passed to the mouth. Behind the mouth, and close to the nephridium, which is raised on a protuberance, are two chetae (bristles), the bases of which are buried in the muscle. The body wall has transverse rows of papillae with flattened tops. The colour of the trunk is a dark, greyish-green, the proboscis is rather paler, and the edges of the forked tip are whitish. In life, the shape and dimensions of the worm are difficult to ascertain because it is constantly wriggling about. The ovarian tissue is situated alongside the ventral blood vessel and the nephridium consists of several interconnecting sacs.[3] The male worm is minute in comparison, being {{convert|4|mm|in|2|abbr=on}} in length, and {{convert|0.8|mm|in|2|abbr=on}} in width, with a distinct tapering tail of {{convert|0.7|mm|in|3|abbr=on}}. It has a nephridium, a gonad and a rudimentary gut, but no chetae. The males live inside one of the sacs of the female's nephridium, where the eggs are also stored, and obtains its nutrition from the fluid in which it is immersed.[3][4] Distribution and habitatMetabonellia haswelli is found in shallow water around the coast of Australia and Tasmania. Known locations include Port Jackson in New South Wales, Boat Harbour Beach in Tasmania, Flinders, Victoria and Point Lonsdale, Victoria. Typical habitat is on sand under rocks, in gullies,[3] and on reefs. Its depth range is from the lower shore down to {{convert|30|m|ft|0|abbr=on}}.[5]EcologyThis worm immerses itself in the sediment or hides its trunk under a rock, extending its proboscis with its two-pronged tip flattened over the substrate. It is a deposit feeder, and any food particles that land on the proboscis are channelled towards the mouth.[5] References1. ^{{cite WoRMS |author=Tanaka, Masaatsu |year=2017 |title=Metabonellia Stephen & Edmonds, 1972 |id=264920 |accessdate=7 December 2018}} 2. ^1 {{cite WoRMS |author=Tanaka, Masaatsu |year=2017 |title=Metabonellia haswelli (Johnston & Tiegs, 1920) |id=266798 |accessdate=7 December 2018}} 3. ^1 2 {{cite journal |author=Dartnall, A.J. |year=1969 |title=A new species of Bonellia (Echiuroidea) from northern Tasmania|journal=Papers and Proceedings of the Royal Society of Tasmania |volume=104 |url=https://eprints.utas.edu.au/13374/1/1970_Dartnall_New_Secies_Bonellia.pdf }} 4. ^{{cite book |title=Invertebrate Zoology, 7th edition |last1=Ruppert |first1=Edward E. |last2=Fox |first2=Richard, S. |last3=Barnes |first3=Robert D. |year=2004 |publisher=Cengage Learning |isbn=978-81-315-0104-7 |page=494 }} 5. ^1 2 {{cite web |url=https://collections.museumvictoria.com.au/species/8514 |title=Metabonellia haswelli (Johnston & Tiegs, 1920) |work=Museums Victoria Collections |publisher=Australian Museum |accessdate=8 December 2018}} 3 : Echiurans|Animals described in 1920|Monotypic genera |
