Flabelligera [Flabelligera]

Description

The Flabelligera genus is known for species with highly specialized feeding structures, allowing them to consume a wide range of organic materials. Found within the Flabelligeridae family, these worms often have a soft, somewhat flattened body that is wider towards the head and tapers towards the tail. They typically inhabit marine sediments where they can burrow or live within constructed tubes. Their adaptation to a variety of sediment types, from sandy to muddy, makes them an important part of the marine benthic ecosystem.
