Terebellidae

...A general term for annelids belonging to the order Terebellida of the class Polychaeta. This name comes from the numerous tufts of thread-like tentacles at the end of the head.

They are 3-10 cm long and have 100-250 segments. The body is divided into three parts: the head, thorax, and abdomen, and is almost cylindrical, thickened at the front and tapering toward the back. The thorax consists of 10-20 setae, and has 2-3 pairs of thread-like or arborescent gills at the front. ...
