CLASS CEPHALOCARIDA


Only about nine species of living Cephalocarids have been described. They are small benthic marine animals, less than 4 mm long, that retain many primitive features. Cephalocarids feed on organic detritus in mud or sand sediments. They range from the intertidal zone to waters as much as 1500 meters deep.
