Polydora [Polydora]

Description

Polydora is a well-known genus of spionid polychaetes that often bore into substrates like wood, coral, or stones, and can also be found in soft sediments. They have a characteristic worm-like appearance, with a segmented body equipped with bristles for movement. Polydora species are of particular interest due to their ability to bore into man-made structures, causing bioerosion.
