Agathotanais [Agathotanais]

Description

Agathotanais is a genus within the family Tanaidae, comprising small, tube-dwelling crustaceans. These organisms are known for constructing and inhabiting slender tubes on the seafloor. They feature a distinctive morphology with a well-developed cheliped (claw-bearing appendage) and reduced uropods. Members of this genus are benthic, meaning they live on the ocean bottom, where they play a role in the benthic ecosystem by contributing to the detritus-based food web.
