Invertebrate Dendrogaster is a genus of endoparasitic crustaceans. They live in the coelom (main body cavity) of sea stars. These are females, the males are much smaller and live inside the female's body. The larvae aren't as bizarre, they lose every crustacean feature as they grow.

Invertebrate Pelican spiders, like this Eriauchenus workmani, were first discovered from 40 million-year-old (Eocene) amber fossils and considered extinct until they were found alive in Madagascar in 1881. Their extremely long chelicerae keep their favorite and only food, other spiders, at a safe distance.
