Orbiniida
Order of annelid worms / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Orbiniida is an order of small polychaete worms in the phylum Annelida.[3] It is the earliest diverging clade in Sedentaria.[2] Along with Protodriliformia (in Errantia), this order is composed of meiofaunal marine worms formerly known as "archiannelids".[4] These worms inhabit the marine interstitial ecosystem, the space between sand grains.[2]
