Description

Nannastacus is a key genus within the Nannastacidae family, identifiable by their slender bodies and relatively small size compared to other cumaceans. These creatures are predominantly found in marine benthic zones, from coastal regions to the abyssal depths. They are adapted to life in soft substrates where they engage in detritivorous feeding habits, consuming organic particles and contributing to the benthic food web.
