Split Feather Duster [Potamilla]

Description

Potamilla is a genus of sabellid polychaetes that are distinguished by their split feather-like tentacles, which they use for filter feeding. These worms build flexible, leathery tubes on various substrates, including rocks, shells, and marine vegetation. The split in the tentacles enhances their surface area for more efficient filtering of food particles from the water.
