Trochochaetids are found on soft sediments throughout the world. They are probably surface deposit feeders but there are no studies of the biology of the family.

Diversity

Globally the Trochochaetidae comprises a single genus, Trochochaeta, and 9 species; none are yet recorded from Australia, although an unidentified trochochaetid is known from New Zealand.
