Alot of sea creatures do not need the strong skeleton to support their weight. But we have barely explored any of the actual deep sea, so who knows what might be found.

What is a calcareous skeleton?
Its when a sea animal forms a skeleton from calcium carbonate (CaCO3). Calcium carbonate is dissolved in seawater, but less soluable at higher temperatures. The majority of animals with calcareous skeletons, such as corals, are found in the tropics where it takes less energy to get it out of the seawater
Which rock was formed from skeleton and shells of sea animals and plants?
Coral is the hard rock-like substance that is formed by skeletons of tiny sea animals. These calcareous skeletons build up and form islands and reefs.
What is limestone and chert?
Limestone is a boigenic rock. It is formed as a byproduct of living things, frequently it is made from the calcareous skeletons of living creatures. If we take the Chalk as a limestone, this was made in a warm shallow sea from the shells of microscopic plankton as they died and sank to the sea floor. However along with the calcareous shells, there were also shells of diatomic plankton which are made out of silicon dioxide (quartz). After deposition as the chalk was compacted by the overlying sediments that were laid down on top of it and it became buried, the water it contained became heated and the skeletons of the silicious diatoms dissolved in the water and then were redeposited as layers of "Chert" or "Flint" in the Chalk.
Where are deep sea crabs found?

What phylum has an internal calcareous skeleton?
The phylum Echinodermata has an internal calcareous skeleton made up of plates or ossicles. This skeleton provides support and protection for organisms in this phylum, such as sea stars and sea urchins.
How deep does the jellyfish live?
Jellyfish are found in every ocean, from the surface to the deep sea.
What continent and country are jellyfish found in?
