Inermonephtys [Inermonephtys]

Description

The genus Inermonephtys, belonging to the family Nephtyidae, includes species of polychaete worms that are distinct for lacking aciculae (internal supporting rods) in their parapodia. This feature distinguishes them from other genera within their family. These worms inhabit various marine environments, often burrowing into the substrate, which aids in their camouflage and protection from predators. Their adaptation to different habitats reflects their evolutionary success.
