Loricifera can "reproduce and live all their life in anoxic (no oxygen) conditions".. This the first multicell organism being able to do this.
The discovery seems to be made in around 2005, but article in Nature describing the behavior was published in Mar / Apr 2010. Learned the news from HKEJ on 23 Apr 2010.
