Pseudopolydora [Pseudopolydora]

Description

The genus Pseudopolydora comprises polychaete worms that are similar in appearance and behavior to Polydora but are distinguished by subtle morphological differences. They are commonly found in marine sediments, where they burrow and create tubes. Pseudopolydora species are important for their role in aerating the sediment and serving as an indicator species for environmental monitoring.
