Caulleryaspis [Caulleryaspis]

Description

Caulleryaspis is a genus within the family Sternaspidae, distinguished from others by specific morphological features, including variations in the structure of their scutellum and the arrangement of setae (bristle-like structures) on their body. These worms inhabit marine environments, where they burrow into the seabed to feed on detritus and microorganisms. The genus is less studied than Sternaspis, but its members are known to contribute to the benthic ecosystem's nutrient cycling processes.
