Description

Tanaella comprises a group of small, tube-dwelling crustaceans with a simple, yet effective design for life in marine sediments. These organisms are known for their minimalistic approach to tube construction, often utilizing available materials and their immediate surroundings. They play a vital ecological role by contributing to the breakdown of organic matter and facilitating nutrient cycling within benthic communities.
