Adaptations of Marine Worms in Antarctica

I was looking at some of the photos and I was wondering what the worms ate? They look kind of creepy, like intestines or something! But so cool!

Hi!The worms you were looking at are probably the nemertean worms. They
feed mostly on dead organisms that fall to the sea floor. They're like
the great recyclers of McMurdo Sound, Antarctica.
Thanks for asking such a great question.
