Subadyte papillifera (Horst, 1915)[1] | |
Subadyte papillifera is a short-bodied worm with about 39 segments and 15-16 pairs of elytra. The body is a light tan colour with darker mottling on dorsum, with the prostomium also light tan and antennae with slight mottling of darker pigment on inflated tips. The prostomium bears a pair of anterior projections on the anterior margin and the lateral antennae are positioned ventrally on it, directly beneath median antenna ceratophore. The notochaetae are about as thick as the neurochaetae, which also possess bidentate tips.[2][4]
Subadyte papillifera is a commensal organism, living on host corals.
