Cirratulida

Pherusa plumosa, from here.

Belongs within: Annelida.

The Cirratulida are a group of largely sedentary, deposit-feeding polychaete worms characterised by the possession of a single pair of peristomial palps and an eversible ventral pharynx. Members of the group include the Cirratulidae, characterised by the presence of series of simple, elongate filaments along the body.
