| Impact Description | Ripistes parasita does not burrow into soft substrate or sediment like some annelids. Instead, it attaches to hard surfaces, including macrophytes or rocks. This may have implications for man-made infrastructure; however, the potential to attach to and affect infrastructure is unstudied and lacks any mention in the literature thus far. |
