The pycnogonids, or sea spiders, are a strange group of small-bodied, long-legged marine arthropods.
Though they walk on 8 legs, they are not spiders, which belong to a quite different group of arthropods...
Pycnogonids feed by sucking the body fluids and soft tissues of hydroids, sea anemones, soft corals, sponges, or bryozoans.
