The Tube Worm

Tube Worm


This colorful tube worm inhabits the pleasant seas surrounding the Greek Isles. But its relatives occupy some of Earth’s most inhospitable spots. Giant tube worms live next to deep sea hydrothermal vents found miles below the surface, where total darkness, extreme water pressures, and a lack of oxygen allow few other species to survive.
