Populations are found in hydrothermal vents several miles below the ocean surrounded with toxic chemicals and high temperatures reaching more than 300 deg C (Ref. 127038). Food is provided by bacteria that grow inside a special pouch in the snail's throat by converting the chemicals in the vents into energy (Ref. 127038). A deep-sea hydrothermal vent species, found on active black smokers as well as on diffuse flow sites (Ref. 127001).
