INTRODUCTION Among annelids, calcareous tubes occur in the families of Serpulidae, Sabellidae, and Cirratulidae.
There are only three reports regarding Cirratulidae polychaetes infection on native and exotic molluscs of commercial importance in Chile (Carrasco 1977, Rozbaczylo & Carrasco 1996, Oliva & Sanchez 2005).
At least three families of boring polychaetes have been reported in the literature: Spionidae, Sabellidae, and Cirratulidae.
