Chordates are common in all major habitats.
Tunicate larvae either seek out a place where they can attach and metamorphose into an adult or develop into adults that float in the open water.
Cephalochordates develop in the open water, but as adults they lie partially or entirely buried in sand and gravel.
In either case, they are filter feeders with simple behaviour.
