1. chaetognath

   The Chaetognatha or chaetognaths (meaning bristle-jaws) are a phylum of predatory marine worms that are a major component of plankton worldwide. 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.
