Jul 2, 2018 at 16:22 comment added Arash Howaida @Ash yea, that is strange. It's kind of like a brilliant scientist who never gets the title of Nobel prize. The black smoker tube worm is a tough act to follow, I guess it's just hard to make it into the extremophile club
Jul 2, 2018 at 16:14 comment added Ash Weirdly enough Riftia pachyptila, the giant black smoker tube worm, isn't considered an extremophile, go figure.
Jul 2, 2018 at 16:06 comment added Arash Howaida @Ash Pardon my hyperbole; I didn't realize the Marianas Trench tube worms were actually colonial single celled. They resemble a complex life form. The extremophile segment isn't necessary for the actual analysis of the question anyway. I just wanted to set the stage and put things into context.

Jul 2, 2018 at 15:59 comment added Ash So far large extremophiles in any environment are the stuff of conjecture, the biggest extremophiles known are colonial single celled.
