Ficopomatus [Ficopomatus]

Description

Ficopomatus includes serpulid worms that build complex, reef-like structures. These tube worms are notable for their tolerance of brackish water conditions and can be found in environments ranging from fully marine to estuarine. Their calcareous tubes are often clustered together, forming dense aggregations that provide habitat for other organisms.
