These nematodes are mostly free-living marine animals.[3] Most feed on diatoms and other algaes.[1]

Subdivisions

Upon phylogenetic analysis in 2010, the order was divided into five clades. Clades and selected families include:[3]

The World Register of Marine Species shows the following suborders within Enoplida:[4]
