Tintinnids seem to be an excessively specious group as over 400 living species have been described, based on characteristics of the lorica or shell.
Choreotrichs (including tintinnids) are part of the microzooplankton. Generally small (20 - 200 micrometres in size) organisms found in the plankton. They feed on small algae and serve as prey for larger organisms in the plankton such as copepods and larval fish.
