Lophophorata

That frilly mouth of yours we just mentioned?  It's pretty good.  One of the easiest ways to evolve is to do something you've already done - but even more.

You grow frills on your frills!

The super-frilly mouth is called a 'lophophore'.  You can hide away in the mud, and slide out your frilly frills and quietly eat whatever passes by.  As time passes you adopt many shapes, but all basically mud-hiding, filter-feeding, hard little worms.
