Pectinariids [Pectinariidae]

Description

Pectinariidae, commonly known as ice cream cone worms due to the shape of their protective tubes, are found in sandy and muddy marine environments. These polychaetes are distinguished by their tentacular crowns used for feeding and their ability to construct tubes from sand grains and shell fragments, playing a significant role in the structure of the benthic habitat.
