Explanation

Balanoglossus belong to class enteropneusta. In certain cases, the proboscis pore does not communicate with the proboscis coelom, but terminate blindly, and may send off a narrow tubular diverticulum which opens into the neurocoel. The proboscis sits in the collar somewhat like an acorn in its cup, a character that has given the name “acorn worm” to the group.
