Asexual Reproduction:
NF
Reproduction Details:
[Polychaeta]
It is common that eggs of Polychaeta are wrapped by the membrane and constitute the egg masses. These egg masses stick to algae or bottom. (Yamada 1967)
[Phyllodocidae]
Phyllodocids have been observed to deposit their eggs in gelatinous masses on eel grass, algae, rocks, or other structures. (Blake 1994)
In case of Phyllodoce mucosa, to form the egg mass, 4 to 17 males and a single female interweave their bodies forming a ball. As the mucous is secreted, eggs and sperm are shed into the mucus. (Blake 1994)
Adult Mobility:
Actively mobile (Mobility is a normal part of at least part of the adult life cycle - at least in spurts. Not dependent upon distance traveled)
Adult Mobility Details:
[Phyllodocidae]
Phyllococids are typically active. (Blake 1994)
In shallow waters, individual species are often cryptic, crawling among rocks or shell fragments, in mussel beds and between barnacle tests, in and around algae and their holdfast; other species crawl over the surface of muds seeking prey items. (Blake 1994)

Found under oyster shells. (Baoling et al. 1997)

Found associated in rocky crevices, in algal holdfasts, and in coarse sediments and debris. (Blake 1994)
Found green mud with rocks and among rocks in sand near cliff. (Blake 1994)
[As Genetyllis castanea (Synonymized taxon)]
[Japan]
Aburatsubo Bay in Sagami Bay: Among fouling organisms attached to the test ropes hanging in 1.5m depth. (Imajima & Hayashi 1969)
Inhabiting among marine algae in the intertidal zone on the rocky shore at Manazuru, Sagami Bay. (Imajima & Gamo 1970)
Osaka Bay: Sandy to muddy bottom (Nishi et al. 1998) and on algae and rocks. (Inaba 1988)
[United States]
South to southern California: Perhaps in mixed sediments. (Hartman 1968)
Trophic Level:
Predator, Omnivore
Trophic Details:
[Phyllodocidae]
Phyllodocids are typically predatory or omniborous polychaetes. (Blake 1994)
It is postulated that all phyllodocids are hunting predators, feeding on a variety of small invertebrates. (Fauchald & Jumars 1979)
