Info

Diopatra cuprea (Bosc, 1802)

Diopatra cuprea, commonly known as the plumed worm, decorator worm or sometimes ornate worm, is a species of polychaete worm in the family Onuphidae, first described by the French entomologist Louis Augustin Guillaume Bosc in 1802.

They include shells and other objects in the construction of their tubes.

This polychaete worm is an omnivore and scavenger and feeds on algae as well as on small invertebrates such as copepods, gastropod molluscs, barnacle larvae and shrimps.
