Sprawling tangles of tubes lie on muddy surface, with posterior ends burried in sediment or under rocks. Cold seep animals live at ambient sea temperature; Middle Valley animals at fringes of diffuse venting regions with sulphide seepage but no apparent temperature anomaly. Use internal symbiotic sulphide- oxidizing bacteria.

Physical Description
Morphology
Tube rigid, thick walled, sinuous, tapering to <1 mm at posterior end; short external flanges anteriorly, eroded and indistinct over much of the tube. Top of obteraculum cupshaped, smooth interior surface, stalk elliptical in section. Obturaculum short (max. 12 mm), about 1/3 length of vestimental region. Branchial filaments are parallel to the obturaculum, forming lamellae of two types: pale outer sheath lamellae (2-5 pairs) made of adherent filaments without pinnules and red inner lamellae of pinnulate filaments.
