Macrodasys caudatus is an aquatic, microscopic worm (body length 0,06-3,0 mm), which can be found in marine waters.
It is meiobenthic and lives between the sand grains and particles (interstitial) on the seabed.
Macrodasys caudatus is acoelomate and swallows its food by powerful sucking action of the muscular pharynx.
It is a detritivore and its diet consists of small protozoans, microalgae and bacteria.
In turn it is preyed upon by small macrofauna and turbellarians.
