"The #ColdSeep ecosystem included #mussels, #clams, #tubeworms, and #BacterialMats capable of harnessing energy from the methane and sulfur-rich environment through symbiosis... Outside the cold seep, #SeaStars, #urchins, and #SeaCucumbers dominated. The seep also seemed to be a hotspot for certain #predators such as #octopus"
