Branch Fireworm [Branchamphinome]
Description
Branchamphinome is a genus of marine annelids in the family Amphinomidae, characterized by their long, slender bodies and numerous, branch-like bristles that give them a feathered appearance. These worms are less commonly encountered than their relatives but play a role in the benthic community as detritivores, breaking down organic matter on the ocean floor.
