Dodecaceria [Dodecaceria]

Description

Dodecaceria is a genus of sessile, tube-building polychaetes. Each worm constructs a calcareous tube, which it attaches to hard substrates in shallow marine environments. These organisms are filter feeders, using their tentacles to capture plankton and detritus from the water column.
