Salvatoria clavata is a species of Annelida in the family Syllidae.^[2]^{[unreliable source?]}The species is similar to Brania pusilla but is a bit longer measuring in about 2mm to 3mm,^[3] individuals in this species can even grow to 10 mm. They have parental care.^[2]^{[unreliable source?]} It has an acrosome shaped like a beaker.^[4]

Reproduction

They reproduce by iteroparous.^[2]^{[unreliable source?]} The species has been classified as androdioecious, they are said to have evolved from gonochoric ancestors. In this species the eggs are fertilized and incubated in the hermaphrodite's pouch.^[5]

Occurrence

The species has a circumglobal distribution.^[6] It can be found in the Adriatic Sea, Gulf of Mexico, Aegean Sea, the Red sea, and the Atlantic Ocean.^[1]
