A free-floating larva of the genus Brachyurus (tentacula). It is found as plankton from June to August. It is 1 to 1.5 mm long, and a finger-like crown of larval tentacles surrounds the cylindrical body in a ring shape under a cap-shaped proto-oral lobe. The anus opens at the rear end of the body and is surrounded by a ciliated ring. After a free-floating life, it descends to the seafloor and undergoes metamorphosis to become an adult.
