Kamptozoa are found on a variety of substrata, including rocks, stones, shell remains, and man-made objects. Some species live on specific host animals, such as polychaetes, bryozoans, sponges, and other marine invertebrates. The organisms are food for small crustaceans and molluscs. Kamptozoa are the only prey of the nudibranch genus Trapania. For years it was thought the nudibranchs were feeding on the sponges they were associated with, but it is now know they were feeding on the kamptozoa which were living on the sponge.
