Balanoglossus
text:
Balanoglossus is a genus of ocean-dwelling acorn worms. It has zoological importance because, being hemichordates, they are an "evolutionary link" between invertebrates and vertebrates. Balanoglossus specimens are deuterostomes, and resemble the sea squirts in that they possess branchial openings, or "gill slits". They have notochords and stomochords but no dorsal nerve cord. Their heads are between 2.5 mm (1/10 in) and 5 mm (1/5 in) wide.
