👉 Plagiostomella is a genus of marine crustaceans in the family Plagiostomatidae, known for their large, flat bodies and long, slender spines. These animals are primarily found in the Indo-Pacific region, where they inhabit warm coastal waters. They feed on various types of algae and other organic matter, including those that are toxic to human consumption or pose a health risk due to their high levels of phycobilins, which are pigments produced by these organisms
