From other sources
Alien species Although both its name and shape reminds us of a worm, the naval shipworm Teredo navalis is a bivalve mollusc. This species drills tunnels in wood and has dispersed all over the world seas, hitchhiking in the hulls of wooden ships and driftwood. Its early and universal spread makes it hard to determine where this species originally occurred. The naval shipworm has troubled sailors for centuries, because it affects the wood of ships. [details]

Dimensions reaches up to 6 mm in length [details]

Distribution Widespread around the world [details]

Distribution Newfoundland to Florida and Texas [details]

Habitat infralittoral of the Gulf and estuary [details]

Reproduction separate sexes, usually not dimorphic in shell structure; fertilization occurs within the mantle cavity anf young hatch as pelagic larvae (generalized for group) [details]
