Genus
Common name: Bristleworms
Scientific name: Filogranella
Filogranella is a genus of polychaete worms, commonly known as bristleworms, within the family Serpulidae. These worms are characterized by their segmented bodies and bristle-like setae. They are often found in reef aquariums, where they can play a role in the cleanup crew by consuming detritus and leftover food. However, some species may irritate corals or clams. It's important for hobbyists to monitor their population and remove excessive numbers if necessary.
