Gastrovermiformes
Gastrovermiformes is an order of worm-like organisms in the phylum Anchyruria who cling to larger organisms for both food and transportation, either clinging around the waste vent or living within a host's guts. Defining features of this branch include a thinner exoskeleton, the ability to use asexual reproduction, and a suction cup at their rear end used to maintain their grip.
