He was just doing his rounds on the sea bed when the two gobies took an immediate interest in his presence and proceeded to follow his path and now and then one would dart in and give him a nip, the whole two foot long worm seemed to convulse as it took this treatment until it finally discovered a burrow into which it disappeared head first, watched closely by its aggressors.
