Rhabdus [Rhabdus]

Description
Rhabdus is a genus of the Gadilidae family, featuring scaphopod mollusks with notably robust and thick-walled shells. These creatures are specialized for life in deeper marine environments, where they use their hardened shells as protection while burrowing through sediment to feed on organic detritus and microorganisms. Rhabdus species represent some of the more physically sturdy members of their family.
