members of the scaridae family of fish, carracterised by grinding pharyngeal jaws and a distinctly shaped head, eat algae off the coral on coral reefs, and certain species actually bite the coral and grind it up to consume the plant based algae within the coral, other species scrape the coral off the outside. there are many species of this family within coral reefs, examples include the brightly coloured parrot fish and massive buffalo fish they hav very interesting life cycles, changing from male to female over a life time, and are well worth further reading!
Mussels, clams, blind shrimp...
Special bacteria (chemosynthetic bacteria) live there which use the sulfur from the hydrothermal vents to make their own food. Other organisms, such as copepods (and other zooplankton), eat this bacteria. Other organisms, such as snails, shrimp, crabs, tube worms, and fish eat the copepods. Therefore, the number of organisms living in these vent systems are 10,000 times greater than areas in the ocean that do not have hydrothermal vents. These life forms would not be possible without the chemosynthetic bacteria, since sulfur is toxic to almost all other forms of life.

A chemosynthetic organism is an organism that obtains energy by converting inorganic molecules such as hydrogen sulfide or methane into organic matter through the process of chemosynthesis. These organisms are commonly found in environments devoid of sunlight, such as deep-sea hydrothermal vents or cold seeps. Examples of chemosynthetic organisms include bacteria and archaea.

These are not parasites. These are autotrophs and make their own food just like plants do except they use chemicals instead. There are methanobacteria, sulfur bacteria which live along deep sea hydrothermic vents, and nitrogen bacteria.
this kind of worm feeds on chemosynthetic bacteria around the hydrothermal vents

Coral reefs and hydrothermal vents are similar because they both lie below the under water.

Chemosynthetic organisms obtain their energy directly from raw chemicals in their environment. Examples of this include tubeworms living next to hydrothermal vents.
such organisms would be bacteria, fungi, protozoa, algae and other microorganisms mostly you would only need to find a rock and have a powerful microscope
Hydrothermal vents are commonly found near volcanically active places, areas where tectonic plates are moving apart, ocean basins, and hotspots. Vent organisms depend on chemosynthetic bacteria for food. The water from the hydrothermal vent is rich in dissolved minerals and supports a large population of chemoautotrophic bacteria.
in the sea there are seaweed, coral, and hydrothermal vents.

Bacteria use chemosynthesis. They take the chemicals in the water shooting out of the vents.
