Overview
Brief Summary
There are 32 species of lancet. These simple animals look like tiny, clear fish without fins. Lancets burrow into the sand in shallow waters, leaving only their heads sticking out. The Florida Lancet is found in the Gulf of Mexico. In some areas there are several hundred Florida Lancet per square foot.

Branchiostoma floridae
Branchiostoma floridae is a lancelet of the genus Branchiostoma. The genome of this species has been sequenced, revealing that among the chordates, the morphologically simpler tunicates are actually closer related to vertebrates than lancelets.[1]
