Description

Number of segments 38; elytra 15 pairs. Depigmented. Lateral antennae inserted ventrally (beneath prostomium and median antenna). Notochaetae distinctly thicker than neurochaetae, or thinner than neurochaetae. Bidentate neurochaetae absent.[4]

Commensalism

A. pottsi is commensal. Its host taxa are alcyonacean corals.

gollark: I think what would also work is the ingot recipe being a factor of 16000 instead of something stupid.
gollark: OC has fluidy whatevers?
gollark: I could, alternatively, give each melter a dedicated former and enforce the ore-supplied-in-pairs thing.
gollark: Maybe if I just *automatically* clean them out it'd be better.
gollark: At that point this design loses a lot of its advantages and runs slower.
