Tanapseudes [Tanapseudes]

Description

Tanapseudes is a genus within the family Tanaopsidae, known for its unique adaptations to life in the marine benthic environment. Members of this genus are characterized by their elongated bodies and relatively small size. They inhabit sandy and muddy substrates in shallow to deep waters, where they play a role in the benthic ecosystem as detritivores, feeding on dead organic material. Their morphology is adapted for burrowing, with slender pereiopods (walking legs) and a streamlined body shape that helps them navigate through the substrate.
