Lanice [Lanice]

Description

Lanice is a genus of polychaete worms in the Terebellidae family, often found in sandy or muddy marine environments. They are known for constructing tall, tube-like structures that protrude above the substrate. Lanice worms use their long tentacles to filter feed, capturing plankton and suspended detritus from the water column.
