Sea Spiders [Endeidae]

Description

The Endeidae family comprises a group of sea spiders that are often found in deep-sea habitats, although some species inhabit shallower waters. They are known for their slender bodies and long, delicate legs, which aid in their movement across soft sediments or coral structures. Endeidae are predators, feeding on small invertebrates, and are characterized by their elongated proboscis and the presence of ovigers in males, which are used for carrying eggs.
