Where do fluke worms live?

As usual, "it depends." A whale's tail is usually called its "fluke" or "flukes." A fluke could be an outlier in a survey - i.e., an unexpected answer, "outside the box," so to speak.. Then there are "liver flukes," which are parasites in the form of small flatworms, hence the name; the only place I've ever heard of people catching them is scuba diving in fresh water in Japan. That doesn't mean there aren't other localities - it's just that that's the only place I've been where the scuba instructor mentioned it.

What is the symbiotic relationship between fluke eggs and snails?

Fluke eggs are consumed by snails, where they hatch and develop into larvae. The larvae then leave the snail and infect other hosts to continue their life cycle. This relationship benefits the flukes by providing a suitable environment for their development, and benefits the snails by potentially reducing parasite load.
