Lancelets - Amphioxus, Branchiostoma floridae

ID:
Thin white/pale yellow lancelets emerge from the sand at night to swim about. During the day, they burrow back into the sand. We see them from 1" - 3". Known to eat plant plankton and diatoms.

Tips:
There is little data for keeping them long term in a reef aquarium environment.
