Families [3]

Sabellida is an order of annelid worms formerly in the class Polychaeta. They are filter feeders with no buccal organ. The prostomium is fused with the peristomium and bears a ring of feathery feeding tentacles. They live in parchment-like tubes made of particles from their environment such as sand and shell fragments cemented together with mucus. [4]

Members of the suborder include the feather duster worms (Sabellidae) and serpulid worms (Serpulidae). Among the species are the giant feather duster worm ( Eudistylia polymorpha ), the peacock worm ( Sabella pavonina ), the European fan worm ( Sabella spallanzanii ) and the Christmas tree worm ( Spirobranchus giganteus ). The inclusion of Oweniidae and Siboglinidae is not supported by some authorities. [5] [ clarification needed ]
