Distribution and habitat
Iris worms (Lumbrineridae) are distributed worldwide[3] and are primarily found in the soft sediment of shallow intertidal waters but sometimes live on rocky bottoms and in algal holdfasts.[4] Lumbrineris flabellicola is unusual in the way that it forms grooves and membranous tubes in various ahermatypic corals.[3]
The population biology of Lumbrineridae is unknown.[4]
