Telepsavus [Telepsavus]

Description

Telepsavus, a lesser-known genus within the family Chaetopteridae, includes species of polychaete worms that are adapted to a life within marine sediments. Like their relatives, these worms build protective tubes in which they reside, using materials available in their environment. Telepsavus species are characterized by their unique morphological features, including specialized feeding structures that enable them to efficiently process sediment and detritus for nourishment. Their ecological role, similar to that of other tube-dwelling polychaetes, involves sediment reworking and nutrient cycling, thereby supporting the health and stability of the benthic ecosystem.
