Polychaete

Ceratonereis mirabilis

Group: Other
Typical depth: 1–56 m

This ragworm patrols shallow seabeds down to around 56 metres, taking whatever it can get. Relatives have been watched grazing algae one moment and tearing into sea squirts or carrion the next, so an opportunist's appetite suits it well.
