Ampeliscidae
The Ampeliscidae are a family of amphipods, distinct enough to warrant placement in a monotypic superfamily Ampeliscoidea.[1] They are benthic, found at the bottom of seas and oceans. They are distributed worldwide, and are often abundant in areas with fine sediments.[2] They live in infaunal tubes, constructed from "amphipod silk" and sediment.[2]

gollark: Do you not have alts within esolangs?
gollark: You could *theoretically* have some complicated system where children do "responsibility tests" or something, but I don't think it would work very well.
gollark: More complicated metrics would be hard and probably prone to abuse.
gollark: No, I mean censorship.
gollark: The new trends in esolangs are somewhat troubling, but I don't know if they actually *are* new or I just completely failed to notice anything until now.
