Marine bristle worms (Polychaeta)

Uppdated:

Tubeworms are a group of marine bristle worms (Polychaeta), that live in tubes built by themselves. These tubes can be constructed of mucus mixed with stone and sand and glued to various surfaces. They can also be calcific (such as the Red tube worm) and permanently attached on for example mussels and large brown algae.
