''Lagis koreni'', commonly known as the trumpet worm, is a species of marine polychaete worm found in European waters. It lives within a narrow conical tube made of grains of sand and shell fragments. Taxonomy In 1986, Holthe studied the family Pectinariidae and recognised four subgenera within the genus '' Pectinaria'' although he did not justify how he had come to this decision. In further reviews in 1973 and again in 1984, neither Long nor Wolf recognised these subgenera. In 2002, Pat Hutchings and Rachael Peart undertook a further review of the family. Among other findings, they determined that the ''Pectinaris'' subgenera should be given full species status. So the species that had been classified as ''Pectinaria koreni'' and later as ''Pectinaria'' (''Lagis'') ''koreni'' became ''Lagis koreni''.
