Veligers are a larval stage of many types of gastropod molluscs.

Freshwater baby snails look like tiny minature versions of the adult. Marine snails (from the ocean) have several stages, but they're called trochophore and veliger larvae. Trochophores are microscopic, and look a bit like a little bee hive with little hairs at the top. Veliger larvae looks like a snail shell with two parachutes on the bottom.
The simplest molluscan reproductive system relies on external fertilization, but there are more complex variations. All produce eggs, from which may emerge trochophore larvae, more complex veliger larvae, or miniature adults.
Yes, Cannonballs eat mainly zooplankton (small plankton) such as veliger, and also all forms of red drum (type of fish) larvae.

They are larvae
I'm not entirely sure, but I think that larvae are called 'larvae'.
larvae is the baby of insects, for example, ant larvae, bee larvae, etc. etc.
no, because the larvae ARE the baby
No, it's a moth's larvae.
The symmetry of the larvae of echinodermata is bilateral.
Look at these ant larvae in this anthill.
