Trochochaetids [Trochochaetidae]

Description

Trochochaetidae is a family of polychaete worms distinguished by their segmented bodies and the presence of a unique, trochophore-like larval stage in their life cycle. These marine worms are typically found in soft sediments, where they burrow or live in tubes they construct. They feed on detritus and small organisms, playing a role in the benthic food web and sediment turnover.
