Pherusa [Pherusa]

Description

Pherusa encompasses a group of marine polychaete worms that display elongated bodies with distinct grooves and ridges, and are covered in a dense layer of setae. These worms are known for their tube-dwelling lifestyle, with tubes often found embedded in soft marine sediments. They are detritivores, feeding on the organic matter they collect from the sediments around them.
