Family of annelids
Acrocirridae is a
family of
polychaete
worms. Acrocirrids are
detritivores (deposit feeders), catching
falling particles with numerous long
prostomial
tentacles. There are eight known
genera, and at least 21 described
species and subspecies within the Acrocirridae. The acrocirrids are primarily
benthic (
seabed-dwelling) animals, but at least two genera (
Swima and
Teuthidodrilus) appear to have evolved or adapted to a
pelagic (free-swimming)
habitat.
