Question

I am a small coelomate worm with bilateral symmetry. In the larval stage, I am small and translucent. My pear-shaped body is girdled by a ring of cilia that aids locomotion. As an adult, I move through ocean sand using parapodia and a hydrostatic skeleton to hunt for food. My blastopore becomes my mouth during development. I consume food that is then digested. Sometimes my length can reach 130 repeating segments. What am I?
