Rhabdus [Rhabdus]

Description

Rhabdus is recognized for its robust, cylindrical shells that are less tapered than those of other scaphopod genera. These tusk shells occupy marine sediments, utilizing their muscular foot to burrow and anchor themselves. Rhabdus species are efficient feeders, using a specialized tentacle system to trap and ingest small organisms and organic matter from the surrounding water.
