Paramphinome [Paramphinome]

Description

Paramphinome is a genus of marine polychaete worms in the family Scolelepididae. These worms are distinguished by their slender, segmented bodies and relatively long setae (bristles) that extend from the sides of their body, aiding in locomotion and sensory perception. Paramphinome species are typically found in soft sediment environments ranging from shallow to deep waters. They contribute to the ecosystem by aerating the sediment and serving as an integral part of the food web.
