Description

Ophryotrocha belongs to the Eunicidae family and is distinguished by its small size and adaptability to a wide range of environmental conditions, including areas with high levels of pollution. These worms exhibit a high degree of sexual dimorphism and are often used in scientific research to study reproductive and developmental biology. Ophryotrocha species are detritivores, playing an important role in the decomposition of organic matter and the cycling of nutrients within marine ecosystems.
