Micronephthys [Micronephthys]

Description
Micronephthys is a genus within the Nephtyidae family, comprising small to medium-sized polychaete worms. These organisms are characterized by their slender bodies and reduced size compared to other genera in the family. They are commonly found in sandy and muddy substrates, where they play a role in the detritus-based food web. The morphology of Micronephthys, including their specialized feeding appendages, allows them to efficiently process sediment for organic particles.
