Coral Sand Tanaid [Leptochelia]

Description

Leptochelia includes tanaid species that are commonly found in association with coral sand habitats. They are distinguished by their slender bodies and long, thin appendages, which facilitate movement through the sand grains. These crustaceans have adapted to feed on the microorganisms found within the coral sand, contributing to the energy flow within coral reef ecosystems.
