Pictured are Riftia pachyptila (white tubes, red plumes), also known as giant tube worms. R. pachyptila have no mouth, gut, or anus; instead, they “farm” symbiotic bacteria in an internal organ called a trophosome, supplying the bacteria with oxygen, sulfide, and carbon dioxide. The orange and pink biofilm on the rock is a free-living bacteria called Beggiatoa. Read more. (Photo by Mandy Joye)
