Commonly known as arrow worms, about 20% of the known Chaetognatha species are benthic, and can attach to algae and rocks. They are found in all marine waters, from surface tropical waters and shallow tide pools to the deep sea and polar regions. Most chaetognaths are transparent and are torpedo shaped, but some deep-sea species are orange. They range in size from 2 to 120 millimetres (0.1 to 4.7 in). There are more than 120 modern species assigned to over 20 genera. Despite the limited diversity of species, the number of individuals is large.Arrow worms are usually considered a type of protostome that do not belong to either Ecdysozoa or Lophotrochozoa.

1. chaetognatha

   Chaetognatha, commonly known as arrow worms, is a phylum of small predatory marine animals found in oceans across the world. They are characterized by their transparent or translucent, streamlined, torpedo-shaped body, and numerous curved, sickle-like hooks and teeth for capturing prey. Arrow worms are significant components of plankton and hence very important in oceanic food chains.
