Genus
Common name: Filograna Worms
Scientific name: Filograna
Filograna is a genus of small, tube-dwelling polychaete worms commonly found in reef environments. These worms construct intricate, calcareous tubes which can be fascinating additions to the microfauna of a reef aquarium. They are beneficial detritivores, consuming organic waste and thereby contributing to the tank's cleanup crew. Filograna species are generally hardy and can thrive in a well-established aquarium with stable conditions, where they often go unnoticed due to their small size and cryptic lifestyle.
