Huffmanela filamentosa is a parasitic nematode[1] It has been observed on the gills of the lethrinid fish Gymnocranius oblongus and Gymnocranius grandoculis off New Caledonia.

Its eggs are released from the gill mucosa with the turnover of living tissues and immediately continue their life-cycle.

Each egg bears a few long (150 micrometers), thin filaments.
