Ceratocuma [Ceratocuma]

Description

Ceratocuma is a genus within the family Ceratocumatidae, distinguished by its unique body structure adapted to a pelagic lifestyle in marine environments. Members of this genus are known for their slender, elongated bodies and the presence of cerata (tentacle-like extensions) which may assist in buoyancy and possibly in feeding. The genus is relatively understudied, with species often found in deep-sea habitats, making them challenging to observe and study in their natural environments. Their distribution is believed to be global, occurring in various oceanic depths where they contribute to the biodiversity of the meso- and bathypelagic zones.
