AI overview
Phoronids, also called horseshoe worms, are small marine animals that live inside chitin tubes on the ocean floor and use a crown of tentacles to filter food from the water. Though tiny and less well-known than many other ocean creatures, they are found in oceans and seas worldwide (except Antarctica) and play a role in their seafloor ecosystems.
