Diopatra
Diopatra is a genus of polychaete worms in the family Onuphidae.
Description
Members of this genus live in thick parchment-like tubes that project from the sediment on the seabed. The tubes are covered on the outside by fragments of shell, pieces of algae and other small objects, collected by the worm and stuck in place by mucous. The worm ambushes small invertebrates that come too close by darting partially out of the tube and grasping the prey with their maxillae and mandibles. Their large anterior parapodia help them to immobilize the prey.[2]
