Cephalodiscida
Cephalodiscida is one of two orders in the class Pterobranchia, which are small, worm-shaped animals. Members belong to the hemichordates.[1][2] Species in this order are sessile, living in clear water and secrete tubes on the ocean floor.[3]

Taxonomy
The order is a small one, with only two known families, each containing a single genus. The validity of the family Atubaridae, who has only a sole member, is regarded as questionable.[4]

gollark: RadioBot™?
gollark: My server is at home and thus has worse internet connectivity than VPSes but waaay better CPU/RAM/disk.
gollark: You could send it to me and have gibson-osmarks internet radio™ exist.
gollark: It's possible that my calibrations wrt. the value of money are just a bit ridiculous, but that's a nontrivial quantity.
gollark: You could buy a low-end VPS for that much!
