Polycirrus [Polycirrus]

Description

Polycirrus is a genus of terebellid polychaete worms, known for their dense clusters of tentacles surrounding the mouth area. These worms are tube dwellers, often found embedded in soft sediments or attached to hard substrates in marine environments. They feed by extending their tentacles to capture detritus and plankton from the water.
