It uses a process called chemosynthesis, turning chemicals into food and energy for itself
You are describing tube worms, specifically fan worms. They are marine invertebrates that live in tubes on the ocean floor and have a crown of feathery tentacles that they use to filter feed.
Some behavioral adaptations of fan worms include retracting their feathery tentacles quickly when disturbed to protect themselves, sensing changes in water flow to extend or retract their tentacles for feeding efficiently, and building tubes using mucus and sediment to create a secure dwelling.
wormology is the study of worms
Worms crawl, snakes slither
Robins are known for eating worms as a staple part of their diet. They can often be seen hopping on lawns or digging in the soil to find worms to eat.
As the earth worm, fan worms are in phylum Annelida.

Fan worms, also known as feather duster worms, primarily feed on microscopic particles in the water, including phytoplankton and detritus. While they primarily consume these organic particles, they can also ingest larger food items if they are small enough to be captured by their feeding tentacles. Therefore, they can be considered omnivorous, as they take in both plant and animal matter.

Fan-worms primarily feed on plankton and detritus. They use their feathery, crown-like structures, known as radioles, to filter small particles from the water as it flows through their burrows. By capturing these microscopic organisms, they obtain the nutrients necessary for growth and survival.
If a fan worm eats dead things in the sea, then it is a decomposer. If it eats bacterica, tiny floating animals, or traps fish and animals, it is a consumer. If the fan worm creates it's own food from the sun, it is a producer.

Fan worms, also known as feather duster worms, are primarily filter feeders rather than strict herbivores. They capture microscopic particles, including phytoplankton and detritus, from the water using their feathery tentacles. While they may consume some plant material indirectly through this feeding method, they do not primarily feed on plants like true herbivores do.
Meal-worms are actually beetle grubs - NOT worms.
round worms are round and flat worms are flat!
