Planktonic and benthonic foraminiferal tests from modem tropical-subtropical marine environments were investigated with regard to bioerosional traces. The traces found on the foraminiferal tests were grouped into 7 different categories. It is suggested that the different traces may be related to different unknown predators of which at least one is planktonic.
