Boccardia [Boccardia]

Description

Boccardia is a genus of polychaete worms that are found in marine environments. Members of this genus are recognized for their hard tubes, which they construct using sediment particles. These worms have a pair of long palps and a series of branched gills, which are adaptations to their sedentary lifestyle, allowing them to filter feed while protected within their tubes.
