These marine crustaceans exhibit a robust body with a pronounced carapace covering the cephalothorax. Their long, articulated appendages aid in swimming and capturing prey. Gigantonebalius species are predominantly found in deeper oceanic waters where they play a crucial role in the benthic food web, preying on smaller invertebrates and detritus.
