Pseudopolydora [Pseudopolydora]
Description
Pseudopolydora is a genus within the Spionidae family, distinguished by its members' burrowing lifestyle and the formation of U-shaped tubes in soft sediments. These worms have a streamlined body and a series of paired appendages, which aid in their feeding on plankton and detritus. They play a role in the aeration and mixing of the sediment, enhancing the habitat for other benthic organisms.
