Flabelligera is a genus of polychaetes in the family Flabelligeridae. Species are common around the world, in both temperate and cold waters.[1][2] Flabelligera species have long, club-like papillae, which are encased in a smooth mucus sheath.[1][3][4] They also have a distinct cephalic cage (a fan-like arrangement of chaetae around the head), and hooked neurochaeatae (ventral chaetae) which they use to hold onto rocks.[4][5][6]

Flabelligera species are preyed on by a number of fish.[7] They are most often found in waters with a temperature between 6.3 and 12.9 °C.[8]
