Tube Worms [Loimia]

Description

Loimia is a genus of polychaete worms in the family Terebellidae, often referred to as tube worms due to their habit of living in protective tubes they construct from sediment and mucus. These worms have a series of elongated tentacles that emerge from their head region, used for feeding on detritus and small particles in the water column.
