Parovactis [Parovactis]
Description
Parovactis members are characterized by their unique adaptation to various sediment types, allowing them to inhabit a wide range of marine environments. These tube anemones have a notable ability to adjust their tube composition based on the surrounding substrate, using materials available in their environment to construct their protective dwellings. They play a critical role in the sedimentary environment, contributing to the structure and stability of the benthic habitat.
