What is the difference between coelomic fluid and vermiwash?
In my opinion and the way I practice, earthworms are directly (known weight of earthworms) are added to a tray containing known volume of luke warm water(37 to40C) and agitated for about 30 to 60Sec. The heat shock makes them to throw out the coelomic fluid through dorsal pores and the mouth in to tray. T he earthworms are collected back and added in to other tray containing water at room temperature. This helps them to overcome shock and the fluid sticking to their body mixes with the water. Earthworms will be safe and can be left back in to their bins. Mix the water in two trays and this will be the vermiwash or it is coelomic fluid in diluted form. As one is washing the earthworms in water, it is called vermiwash.
Coelomic fluid can be collected dirctly from the coelomic cavity by subjecting earthworms to cold shock or mild electric shocks. This is carried out to understand various components in coelomic fluid for scientific investigations.
Vermiwash can be used as spray in nurseries.

No. Millipedes are myriapods, meaning "many feet". Centipedes are also myriapods. Segmented worms are annelids; earthworms and leaches belong to this group. Also, myriapods are arthropods; annelids are not.

Where does ring worm come from?
Despite the name, it is not a worm- It is a fungus that infects the skin, similar to athlete's foot. The spores are spread by contact. Risk factors include using public showers, contact sports such as wrestling, excessive sweating, contact with animals, obesity, and poor immune function.
The centipede is not an annelid. This insect is classified as a arthropod and belongs to the Chilopoda family.
How do Platyhelminthes locomote?
Many flatworms are parasitic, living within the host, and once anchored, have no need for locomotion.
The land and water dwelling species lay down a film of mucus through which their cilia move to aid locomotion. When disturbed, they perform muscular motions, rather like waves, in their attempt to escape. This may be both vertical and horizontal.
A New Zealand species grows up to 15 cm or more, (but more commonly less than 10cm) and is a now serious invader in Europe, killing the native earthworms. This they do by wrapping around their prey and using body fluids to dissolve what they need. At rest they may curl up like a roll, but elongate when needed. These I've seen more commonly at night than in daylight.
