What environment would you find a giant tubeworm in?

What kingdom is tube worms?
Tube worms belong to the kingdom Animalia. Specifically, they are classified under the phylum Annelida and the class Polychaeta. These marine creatures are known for their tube-like structures which they use for protection and habitat. Tube worms can be found in various environments, including deep-sea hydrothermal vents and other marine ecosystems.
Which zone do tube worms live in?
Tube worms, particularly giant tube worms, live in the abyssal zone, a deep ocean region marked by complete darkness, high pressure, and cold temperatures. They thrive near hydrothermal vents—cracks on the seafloor releasing superheated, mineral-rich water. These vents support chemosynthetic bacteria, which convert chemicals like hydrogen sulfide into energy, forming the foundation of the tube worms' food source. This extraordinary adaptation enables them to flourish in an otherwise harsh and nutrient-poor environment.
What other living things are found around thermal vents deep in the ocean?
Mats of bacteria, crabs, sea worms/ spagghetti, tube worms and more.
Do tube worms have backbones?
No worms have backbones. They are all invertebrates.
