Codiacrinus lived on the sea bed, catching tiny animals and plankton with its branching arms.
Sea lilies like this had a long stalk-like stem that needed a hard object for attachment – a cephalopod shell, a dead bivalve or another sea lily, for example. This is why fossils of sea lilies often occur together in large numbers: they quite simply competed for the site.
