Zibhukuda "zibheke phansi" futhi zidla ngokuhlunga izinhlayiya eziphilayo emanzini noma ngokukhothoza ulwelwe emhlabathini, ngaphandle kwe-Branchinecta gigas, noma "i-giant fairy shrimp", yona ngokwayo eyisilwane esidla ezinye izinhlobo zama-anostracans. Ziwukudla okubalulekile kwezinyoni nezinhlanzi eziningi, futhi ezinye ziyalinywa futhi zivunwe ukuze zisetshenziswe njengokudla kwezinhlanzi. Kunezinhlobo ezingu-300 ezisabalele emindenini engu-8.
Ama-crustaceans Anostraca angatholakala emachibini asehlobo nasemachibini anosawoti omningi, kanye nasogwadule, emachibini asezintabeni ambozwe yiqhwa naseqhweni lase-Antarctic.
