Dexiospira [Dexiospira]

Description
Dexiospira comprises a group of serpulid worms recognized for their distinctive spiraled tubes. These organisms are sessile and attach themselves to hard substrates in marine settings. Their tubes, made of calcium carbonate, often exhibit a right-handed (dextral) coiling, which is a key identifying feature.
