Description
Neopolynoe chondrocladiae can have up to around 94 segments with 15 pairs of elytra that bear a marginal fringe of papillae. The lateral antennae are inserted ventrally to prostomium, directly beneath the median antenna. The notochaetae are distinctly thicker than the neurochaetae and possess only simple tips.[4]
Biology
Neopolynoe chondrocladiae has a commensal relationship with the sponges Chondrocladia robertballardi and Chondrocladia virgata.[4]
