Tube worms, particularly species like the giant tube worm (Riftia pachyptila), can grow quite large, reaching lengths of up to 3 meters (about 10 feet). Typically, their tube can extend several feet, while the worm itself can be around 1.5 meters (about 5 feet) long. These worms thrive in deep-sea environments, often near hydrothermal vents, where they rely on symbiotic bacteria for nutrition.
