Diopatra worms are adapted to live in muddy environments through their ability to construct and inhabit protective tubes made from sediment and organic materials. These tubes provide stability and shelter from predators and strong currents. Additionally, Diopatra worms possess specialized gills that allow them to extract oxygen from the surrounding water, optimizing their survival in low-oxygen mud habitats. Their burrowing behavior also helps aerate the sediment, benefiting their local ecosystem.
