Acrocirrus [Acrocirrus]

Description

Acrocirrus is a genus within the family Acrocirridae characterized by their long, slender bodies and a prostomium without appendages. These marine worms are known for their varied feeding habits, including detritivory and carnivory. They possess a pair of palps that are usually longer than their bodies, aiding in their sensory and feeding behaviors. The body is often covered in fine, hair-like structures called cilia, which help them in locomotion and feeding. Acrocirrus species are found in a range of marine environments, from shallow waters to deep-sea habitats.
