Macrochaeta [Macrochaeta]

Description

The Macrochaeta genus comprises species known for their remarkably long setae (bristles) that extend from their bodies, giving them a distinct appearance among the Acrocirridae family. These setae are believed to aid in their locomotion and in capturing food particles from the water column. Inhabitants of both shallow and deep marine waters, Macrochaeta species are adaptable and can be found in a variety of sediment types, from mud to sandy substrates.
