Iris Worms[1] (Lumbrineridae) are a family of polychaetes in the order Eunicida.[2] Lumbrineridae live on the West Coast of the United States, the West Coast of Canada, and the Gulf of Mexico.
History
[edit]Iris Worms (Lumbrineridae) are distributed worldwide,[3] and are primarily found in the soft sediment of shallow and intertidal waters but sometimes lives on rocky bottoms and in algal holdfasts.[4] Lumbrineris flabellicola is unusual in the way that it forms grooves and membranous tubes in various ahermatypic corals.[3] A few observations suggest that Iris worm diets include carnivory on various invertebrates and questionable herbivory.[5] Selective deposit feeding was described for ninoe nigripes[6] and lumbrineris cf. latreilli[7] Its population biology is unknown.[4]
