Osmoconformers are marine animals found mostly in seawater. Aquatic animals such as mollusks and worms are categorized as osmoconformers.
Osmoregulator have to use energy to gain or loss water, because their body fluids are different from their environment.(osmoregulation is the process an organism uses to balance the fluids/water)Osmoconformer, on the other hand is, are organisms that have body fluids that are the same as its environment.(They don't gain or loss water during osmosis. Therefor they don't have to worry about using energy to combine ammonia with carbon dioxide ---because they excrete ammonia)
Marine organisms that maintain their internal salt concentration to match their environment are known as osmoconformers, such as jellyfish, sea anemones, and some bivalves. These organisms allow their internal salt concentration to vary with the surrounding seawater to avoid losing excessive water or becoming dehydrated.
Most leeches live 1 year; some live more.
Amphibians primarily live in water during their early stages of life, but as adults, they typically live on land.
Cells are the basic structural and functional units of living organisms and can be found throughout the body in tissues and organs. They can live in various environments such as inside the body (in organs, tissues, and blood) or outside the body (in culture dishes for research purposes).
Osmoconformers have solved problem by becoming Isotonic to their environment .
Osmoconformers
Osmoconformer adjusts to the osmotic concentration of its surrounding so that the osmoregularity is the same at the medium. Osmoconformer maintain its own osmotic concentration regarldess of the surrounding medium.
By osmoregulation. Differs by species or type of organism, but they are either osmoconformers or osmoregulators.
osmoconformers
Osmoconformers regulate their body fluids by maintaining internal osmolarity that is equal to the water surrounding them. In a freshwater environment, there would be no osmolarity; it applies to salt and seawater.
Crabs like other crustacians are isotonic to marine environment ,also called osmoconformers, theydont adjust concentration of body fluids .

Osmoconformation is the process by which an organism maintains an internal osmotic balance by conforming to the external osmolarity of its environment. This is typically achieved by regulating the concentration of solutes and water within its body to match that of its surroundings, helping to prevent dehydration or overhydration. Osmoconformers are typically found in marine environments where osmotic pressure can vary significantly.
Osmoregulation in protozoans like Paramecium is carried out through contractile vacuoles. These organelles collect excess water and expel it from the cell to maintain osmotic balance. The contractile vacuoles help prevent the cell from bursting due to excessive water intake.
