CharacteristicsAdult sand isopods are horizontally flattened.[2] The thorax is almost round from above and the long, robust legs with large setae. The abdomen is short and pointed. Sand isopods reach {{convert|15|mm|abbr=on}} long and {{convert|7|mm|abbr=on}} wide. They use the last pair of legs to dig tunnels in sand. When removed from the tunnels (for instance, by wave action), sand isopods swim down to the substrate, where they dig underground again. EcologyC. coeca feeds on carrion, which it holds with its gnathopods while chewing pieces off with its mandibles.[3]References1. ^{{cite journal |author=Rachael A. King and Alison M.
