Tubeworms live in colonies and are most successful in shallow, warm, saline water that contains a large amount of organic matter. They are able to deal with large changes in salinity, ranging from fresh to highly saline water conditions. |
Tubeworms are small worms that live in water and build hard carbonate/limestone tubes. Tubeworms, or “Featherdusters”, have feathery headdresses which they use for gas exchange and to extract suspended food particles from the sea-water.
