From editor or global species database
Introduced species remark Spirobranchus tetraceros is a not a single circumtropical species (as per claim in Zenetos et al. 2010), but instead is part of a large complex of both tropical and warm-temperate morphologically similar species (Palero et al. 2020). The Spirobranchus species invading Eastern and now Western Mediterranean is not S. tetraceros sensu stricto. That latter species is apparently restricted to South-eastern Australia. The complex is now being revised and the identity and origin of the invader to the Mediterranean will be determined shortly. [details]
