The gossamer worm (Tomopteris, Neo-Latin from Greek meaning "a cut" + "wing" but taken to mean "fin") [3] is a genus of marine planktonic polychaetes.All described species are known to be holoplanktic, meaning that they spend their entire life cycles in the water column.
The genus Tomopteris consist of about 70 species, and the three other genera of one known species each. [1] Length varies from just 1-2 cm to 30 cm. [2] These are very active swimmers, and have some of the highest metabolic rate among annelids. [3]

Examples of holoplankton include some diatoms, radiolarians, some dinoflagellates, foraminifera, amphipods, krill, copepods, and salps, as well as some gastropod mollusk species. Holoplankton dwell in the pelagic zone as opposed to the benthic zone. [2] Holoplankton include both phytoplankton and zooplankton and vary in size.

Phyllodocida is an order of polychaete worms in the subclass Aciculata. [1] These worms are mostly marine, though some are found in brackish water.Most are active benthic creatures, moving over the surface or burrowing in sediments, or living in cracks and crevices in bedrock.
In 2008, WoRMS stated that it hoped to have an up-to-date record of all marine species completed by 2010, the year in which the Census of Marine Life was completed. [ 4 ] As of February 2018, WoRMS contained listings for 480,931 marine species names (including synonyms) of which 247,000 are valid marine species (98% checked).
