Description

Euchone is a genus of polychaete worms within the Trichobranchidae family. These worms are characterized by their long, slender bodies and the presence of branchiae (gill-like structures) which are used for respiration. They inhabit marine environments, often burrowing into soft sediments on the seafloor. Euchone species are important members of benthic communities, contributing to the ecosystem's nutrient cycling.
