Tubeworms are marine worms found in the Pacific Ocean.
Tubeworm is the name for ocean worms that live in a tube. These tubes are made of mud, sand, and shells. Tubeworms can grow to be 3 meters (10 feet) long.
Tube worms have no eyes, no mouth, and no stomach. They survive on chemicals that come out of the vents in the ocean floor.
Crabs and fish eat the feathery ends of tubeworms.
