Acoelomorpha is a subphylum of very simple and small soft-bodied animals with planula-like features which live in marine or brackish waters. They usually live between grains of sediment, swimming as plankton, or crawling on other organisms, such as algae and corals.[1] With the exception of two acoel freshwater species, all known acoelomorphs are marine.[2]
