Ecology Among the differences from Arenicola marina (blow lug) is that the cast shapes differ, with A. defodiens (black lug) producing neatly coiled casts, usually containing anoxic sediment (reflecting the greater depth of the burrow), whereas A. marina casts are an untidy pile, not usually containing anoxic sediment. Arenicola defodiens occurs on shores that are less sheltered than those where A. marina occurs, hence its former 'laminarian' nickname.
