Northern Sand Dwellers [Ekleptostylis]

Description

Ekleptostylis represents a genus of cumaceans that are primarily identified by their slender bodies and the presence of distinctive features such as specialized setae (bristles) on their appendages. These organisms are often found in northern marine ecosystems, living within sandy or muddy substrates. They are important contributors to the benthic community, engaging in the breakdown of organic matter and serving as prey for higher trophic levels.
