Hydroides

Hydroides elegans, copyright Brian Nedved.

Belongs within: Serpulidae.

Hydroides is a genus of serpulid tubeworms characterised in most species by the presence of a two-tier operculum, composed of a proximal funnel and superimposed verticil. Funnel radii generally have simple blunt to pointed marginal teeth (occasionally more elaborate); the verticil usually consists of a number of long spines (ten Hove & Ben-Eliahu 2005).
