I'm too broke to be a patreon, so I'm not complaining if Anton puts in a sponsorship segment. No other high quality educational youtube channel puts out such interesting science every single day! Anton deserves the funding so that I can keep learning.

Many of these animals with chemosynthetic microbial symbiotes are as close to being true producers as most plants, which also require them to facilitate metabolic function. 'But but chloroplasts are part of plant cells so it's not just symbiotes chemosynthesizing for them'. Yes, and mitochondria are chemosynthesizers too.

Hmmm. I wonder if, instead of eating the bacteria that processes the methane, the sea spiders are actually eating the waste products produced by the bacteria? For whatever reason, this video made me think of the relationship between ants and aphids.
