👉 The term "astylosternidae" refers to a group of small, flat-bodied crustaceans that belong to the family Asteridae. These animals are characterized by their long, slender bodies with strong, thin claws and strong, flexible bodies. They primarily feed on aquatic plants and algae, but they can also be found in larger bodies of water such as rivers, lakes, and oceans. Some species may have specialized adaptations for swimming and deterring predators.
