Ecology of Perinereis nuntia
 
Main Ref. Wehe, T. and D. Fiege, 2002
Remarks Common in intertidal and shallow marine waters (Ref. 107800). Members of the genus Perinereis are found in intertidal mud flats, a source of food for wading birds and fish (Ref. 86799). Probably omnivores and scavengers as some species have been observed feeding on algae while others feed on invertebrates (e.g. ascidians) and carrion (Ref. 107862).
