Trichobranchids [Trichobranchidae]
Description
Trichobranchidae are a family of polychaete worms that inhabit marine sediments, often in cold-water environments. These worms are known for their feathery gills, which are used for respiration and possibly feeding. They contribute to the marine ecosystem by their role in the sediment-water interface, affecting nutrient exchange and sediment stability.
