[1][2][3][4] The worm is sessile and lives in sandy substrates where it utilizes suspension feeding in order to acquire nutrients.

[3] Jasmineira elegans uses its fan-like radioles to feed on suspended detritus and to supply itself with oxygen.

[1][3] Early observations of the worm suggest they may be capable of regenerating damaged radioles.

[5] Jasmineira elegans is dioecious with the females carrying light-brown eggs inside the first 12 segments of the abdomen.

[5] Studies on macrobenthic assemblages in coastal regions of the Mediterranean Sea suggest that the Jasmineira elegans is more sensitive to organic pollution than other Polychaetes that occupy the same environment.
