Neanthes fucata is a species of marine polychaete worm in the family Nereididae. It lives in association with a hermit crab such as Pagurus bernhardus. It occurs in the northeastern Atlantic Ocean, the North Sea and the Mediterranean Sea.

Neanthes is a genus of polychaetes belonging to the family Nereididae. [1] The genus has almost cosmopolitan distribution. [1]

Neanthes arenaceodentata is a species of marine polychaete worm in the family Nereididae. It occurs in shallow waters in the tropical Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. It has been used in the laboratory in testing the toxicity of marine sediments.

Neanthes (previous name Nereis) belongs to order Polychaeta, class Chaetopoda, phy­lum Annelida. It is commonly known as sandworm because it is found buried in sand, and also clam worm, as it lives with clams. It is cosmopolitan in distribution. Neanthes lives in shallow seas, in rock crevices or hidden under the stones or sea weeds.

Neanthes brandti (tentatively identified only by inspection) from Padilla Bay, WA. This could be N. vexillosa instead. Description: As with all members of family Nereidae, this errant species has few if any segments longer than wide, even when contracted. Its dorsal surface is not covered by paleae, elytra, or felt.

Neanthes is one of the largest and most common typical marine annelid with most of the characteristics of the phylum. Nereis includes several species, of which more common are N.virens, N.cultrifera, N.dumerilli, N diversicolor, N pelagica and N succinea.

Neanthes Virens is found on the sea- shore in the shallow water in rock crevices, hidden under the stones or sea weeds. Some live in tubular U-shaped burrows lined by mucus in sand or mud at tide level. It is carnivorous as it feeds on small insects, mollusks and worms. It is very active during night and passive during the day i.e.; nocturnal.

Neanthes (Annelida: Nereididae) from Taiwanese waters, with description of seven new species and one new species record. Zootaxa 4554(1): 173–198. DOI : 10.11646/zootaxa.4554.1.5 Reference page .

Nereis or Neanthes is a marine polychaete annelid that lives in burrows in sea bottom and comes out in night to prey upon small animals. N. virens (Sandworm), N. pelagica (Type-species) and N. succinea (Clam worm) are common species of Nereis.

Neanthes limnicola is usually pale and translucent, not dark green and its posterior parapodial lobes are not expanded like those of N. brandti. Neanthes have spinigerous notosetae only (Hilbig 1997). The morphologically simi-lar genus, Nereis sensu stricto, is characterized by species with spinigerous notosetae in the anterior half of the body and
