The phylum Kamptozoa is also known as Entoprocta, with the two terms being used interchangeably. Common names are the nodders, because they tend to “bob” around on the end of their stalks, and goblet worms. The phylum encompasses two orders, four families, sixteen genera, and approximately 150 species. The invertebrates are sessile, with most species forming colonies, however solitary species do exist. Kamptozoa are acoelomate.
