Flabelligella [Flabelligella]

Description

Flabelligella is a genus of marine polychaete worms in the family Acrocirridae. Members of this genus are distinguished by their elongate, often slightly flattened bodies and the presence of filamentous branchiae. These worms are benthic, living in or on the seafloor, and are adapted to a wide range of habitats, including the deep sea. The body is covered in fine, hair-like setae, and the worms are known for their slow, gliding movement on the ocean floor.
