Rim feeler
The division of living beings into systematics is a continuous subject of research. Different systematic classifications exist side by side and one after the other. The taxon treated here has become obsolete due to new research or is not part of the group systematics presented in the German-language Wikipedia.
The wreath feelers ( mostly Tentaculata in German-language literature , internationally mostly Lophophorata ) are an animal strain that is no longer recognized by most systematists today . The horseshoe worms (Phoronida), bryozoa (bryozoa) and arm pods (Brachiopoda), exclusively sessile animals that live as filter feeders in the water, were added to the tentaculates . Its eponymous feature is the lophophore or tentacle wreath, which is usually formed by a pair of tentacle-studded arms that, curved or rolled up, surround the mouth opening. In the meantime, these animal groups with other primordial mouths (protostomia) are systematically placed in the supernumerary line of Lophotrochozoa .
