Cycliophora (Symbion pandora) are tiny marine organisms each the size of a period (full stop) found in great numbers on lobsters’ lips; identified tentatively in 1995 as a new phylum or as possible link between Entoprocta and Ectoprocta. Sorry. Can’t find the origin but I think it’s related to the number of stages in its life cycle.

**It is a new phylum with no close relatives.
