					Members of the superorder Acrothoracica are gonochoric and sexually dimorphic, males are smaller in size.  Eggs are brooded in the mantle cavity.  Life cycle:  Eggs hatch into nauplii which are released into the water when they reach the cypris stage, they then find a suitable substratum afterwhich females metamorphose into adults while the males kept attach to the females before they metamorphose into adults.
