I guess it evolved from oxygen-using ancestors though. Though definitely is nice to see that you can have anaerobic metazoans.

Re: Anaerobic Multi-Cellular Life Found
Cool, however I can't help but ask if the body type and system would be entirely different, as it's not metabolizing oxygen, resulting in an entirely different metabolisim (no pun intended). By the way, what is is metabolising if it's not oxygen?
