Bone-eating worm, a.k.a. zombie worm (Osedax packardorum)
The many species of bone-eating worms are wonderfully weird specialists in whalefall communities. They work with symbiotic bacteria in their butt-root-like structures—which they use to bore into the bones—to help them consume the lipids and proteins. Yum! There's also the whole thing where the males are microscopic parasites inside the females (who are the ones we can see as fluffy gill plumes). The deep dark ocean sure loves its parasitic reproduction methods!
