Cirratulidae is a family of marine polychaete worms. Members of the family are found worldwide, mostly living in mud or rock crevices.[2] Most are deposit feeders, but some graze on algae or are suspension feeders.[1] Although subject to multiple revisions over time, cirratulids are among the few polychaete clades with a verified fossil record.
