Info

Perinereis nuntia (Lamarck, 1818)

Distribution Red Sea and Gulf of Aden. The species is widely recorded throughout the tropical Indo-Pacific, from Thailand, China and Hong Kong, to Australia (north of 27ºS), and Fiji, but many of these records need critical re-appraisal (Wilson & Glasby, 1993: 268).

Perinereis nuntia inhabit intertidal sandy substrata under rocks or boulders.
