Cossurids [Cossuridae]

Description

Cossuridae are a lesser-known family of polychaete worms, primarily characterized by their simple, unadorned bodies and lack of distinct head features. They inhabit marine sediments and are adapted to a life buried within the seabed, contributing to the benthic ecosystem by processing organic matter.
