Eunephtys [Eunephtys]

Description

Eunephtys is a genus of polychaete worms within the family Nephtyidae. These worms are notable for their well-developed parapodia (limb-like appendages), which they use for locomotion on the seafloor. Members of this genus are typically found in soft sediment habitats, from shallow waters to deeper zones. They play a significant role in the benthic community, serving as both predators and prey within their ecosystem.
