Osedax mucofloris is a species of bathypelagic Polychaetes that is reported to sustain itself on the bones of dead whales. [2] [3] [4] Translated from the mixed Greek and Latin used in scientific names, "Osedax mucofloris" literally means "snot-flower bone-eater", though the less-accurate "bone-eating snot-flower worm" seems to be the form actually used.
Peinaleopolynoe is a genus belonging to the family Polynoidae (scale worms). Members of this genus generally live in nutrient-rich environments in the deep sea, such as whale fall, which is the reason for their name (Greek plural πειναλεoσ, peinaleos; "famished"). [1] [2]
The bootlace worm (Lineus longissimus) is a species of ribbon worm and one of the longest known animals, with specimens up to 55 m (180 ft) long being reported. [1] Its mucus is highly toxic. [ 2 ]
Chaetopterus pugaporcinus, commonly known as the pigbutt worm or flying buttocks, is a species of worm first described by scientists at the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute in 2007. [1] The worm is round in shape, approximately 10 to 20 millimeters in length (roughly the size of a hazelnut ), and bears a strong resemblance to a ...
[2] [14] [15] Located deep in the buccal cavity are eight to 10 teeth that are not thought to be used for attachment. [1] The adult male is about half the length of the female. Case reports have found male worms ranging from 3–6.3 mm in length and 360-380 μm in width. The larger females were reported to be 8.7-23.5 mm long and 550-570 μm wide.
The genus Glycera is a group of polychaetes (bristle worms) commonly known as bloodworms.They are typically found on the bottom of shallow marine waters, and some species (e.g. common bloodworms) can grow up to 35 cm (14 in) in length.

CO 2 partial pressures are transferred to the vicinity of vent fluids due to the enriched inorganic carbon content of vent fluids and their lower pH. [20] CO 2 uptake in the worm is enhanced by the higher pH of its blood (7.3–7.4), which favors the bicarbonate ion and thus promotes a steep gradient across which CO 2 diffuses into the vascular ...
