Semiflabelligera [Semiflabelligera]

Description

Semiflabelligera is a genus of polychaete worms characterized by their semi-transparent, elongated bodies and sparse, yet long setae. These worms are adapted to a life of burrowing within the sediment of the ocean floor, where they feed on organic detritus. Their burrowing behavior contributes to the aeration and mixing of the seabed sediments.
