History
editIris Worms (Lumbrineridae) are distributed worldwide,[3] and are primarily found in the soft sediment of shallow and intertidal waters but sometimes lives on rocky bottoms and in algal holdfasts.[4] . Lumbrineris flabellicola is unusual in the way that it forms grooves and membranous tubes in various ahermatypic corals.[3] A few observations suggest that Iris worm diets include carnivory on various invertebrates and questionable herbivory.[5] Selective deposit feeding was described for ninoe nigripes[6] and lumbrineris cf. latreilli[7] Its population biology is unknown.[4]
