Ecology of Chaetozone setosa

Main Ref.	Gusso, C.C., M.F. Gravina and F.R. Maggiore, 2001
Remarks	Found in inshore areas, estuaries, and sandbanks; in substrates of silt to medium-grained sand (Refs. 96352, 124788) and muddy bottoms (Ref. 2780). In well sorted sediments (Ref. 127093). Tentaculate semi-mobile burrowing detritivore (Ref. 95752). A selective surface deposit-feeder (Ref. 96292), using its eversible pharynx in feeding (Ref. 87179).
