1. pycnogonida

   Sea spiders are marine arthropods of the order Pantopoda (lit. ‘all feet’), belonging to the class Pycnogonida, hence they are also called pycnogonids (; named after Pycnogonum, the type genus; with the suffix -id). They are cosmopolitan, found in oceans around the world. The over 1,300 known species have legs ranging from 1 mm (0.04 in) to over 70 cm (2.3 ft). Most are toward the smaller end of this range in relatively shallow depths; however, they can grow to be quite large in Antarctic and deep waters. Although "sea spiders" are not true spiders, or even arachnids, their traditional classification as chelicerates places them closer to true spiders than to other well-known arthropod groups, such as insects or crustaceans. This is in dispute, however, as genetic evidence suggests they may be the sister group to all other living arthropods.

1. pycnogonida

   Pycnogonida, generally called sea spiders, is an order of marine arthropods known for their long legs and small bodies. There are roughly over 1,300 species in this order. They are primarily found in the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans but can also inhabit the Arctic and Antarctic regions. They can be found in a variety of marine environments from tidal zones to as deep as 7000 meters. Pycnogonids are characterized by their slender bodies, elongated legs, reduced abdomen and absence of antennae. They are carnivorous, primarily feeding on soft-bodied invertebrates.
