  Isopoda   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
Flabellifera, Epicaridea, Gnathiidea) are carnivores, predators, and parasites.
The paraphyly of the Flabellifera is clearly evidenced by the scattered locations of the families within the tree.

 CSIRO PUBLISHING - Invertebrate Systematics   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
Several authors have suggested that the traditional suborder Flabellifera is paraphyletic and includes one or more of the suborders Gnathiidea, Epicaridea and Anthuridea.
Two suborders, Cymothoida and Sphaeromatidea, have been proposed as replacement taxa for the Flabellifera, but it has not been possible on the basis of phylogenetic analyses to elucidate significant relationships between the suborders and families.
Morphological characters are used to explore relationships between 35 genus-, family- and suborder-level taxa of flabelliferan Isopoda in a cladistic analysis (using Phreatoicidea and Asellota as outgroups) and to derive a new classification.

The swimming activity of the deep water Isopod Cirolana borealis (Crustacea Flabellifera) was recorded in constant darkness and under natural day-night regime in actographs using optoelectronic barriers or videography.
The Isopoda used in the experiment were obtained from baited traps from depths of 350-400 m on the Provencal coast of NW Mediterranean France.
The irradiance level at 400 m depth in the NW Mediterranean appears sufficient to synchronise the endogenous rhythm.

 Suborder Flabellifera   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
Flabellifera comprise a large paraphyletic assemblage of families defined more by the absence of certain features than by any unique attributes.
The eyes are usually large and well-developed, but are reduced or absent in cave and deep-sea species.
With over 3,000 described species, Flabellifera is the second largest isopod suborder, represented in California by seven families, three of which (Anuropidae, Excorallanidae, Serolidae) have not been reported north of Point Conception.

 Bahalana yagerae
Taxonomic Characterization: Unique in the suborder Flabellifera in that adults have six pairs of legs (pereiopods), rather than seven - a clear case paedomorphy.
Evolutionary Origins: The family Cirolanidae is considered the most primitive of the families of the suborder Flabellifera.
It is thought that stygobitic cirolanids were stranded when high sea levels receded, either during the Cenozoic Era (55 million years ago) or during the Late Cretaceous Period (135 million years ago) (Carpenter, 1981).

 Pathogenic_isopoda
Although the name "Anilocra" is used widely by farmers for any type of isopods infesting their fish, Anilocra and Nerocila adults are externally attaching to the skin and fins of fish.
The Flabellifera isopod parasites adhere in pairs to different spots on the fish skin and fins and may also live in the mouth and gill cavities.
Regarding the most sensitive age of the fish hosts when the parasites attach in their buccal cavity, empirical observations agree with research results that there is a significant correlation between the rate of infection and the length of the host, fish fry being the evident target for isopod attachment.

As you suspected they live on the sea fan (may be Melithaea flabellifera) and lay their eggs there, I hope you could see the egg mass at middle and left of the photo.
So I am pretty sure that this sea fan is the food and place where they live.

s regards Italy, ground water isopods are represented by the suborders Asellota and Flabellifera, the former with the families Asellidae, Stenasellidae, Microparasellidae and Microcerberidae, the latter with two families, Sphaeromatidae and Cirolanidae.
oth families Sphaeromatidae and Cirolanidae (Flabellifera) embrace directly sea-originated species; the former includes several species of the genus Monolistra, the latter, beside typically marine taxa, contains species which secondarily colonized subterranean environments in different parts of the World.
