well the habitat hydro thermal vent actually is 400 degrees and it is in the atlantic and shrimp are the only animal pretty much that has adapted to that environment. I think that they have adapted by having a softer shell that will help them vent enough so they won't burn to death that my hypothesis for how shrimp adapted to such degrees in heat.
Even thought I was absent today I went online to see if I could find some Deep Sea animals. One animal that I found was the Deep Sea Anglerfish. I found a high interest for these fish because the males are very tiny compared to the females. The males live on females as parasites. This could be an adaption to save energy which allows the females to feed on what food they can find. This could help the female and male survive in the harsh Deep Sea habitat. The males tend to lack teeth but they have huge nostrils which contributes them to a excellent of smell. They use these nostrils to track down females. It is said that the females release a chemical called pheromones that males can detect.
There is the monk fish that lives on the ocean floor and it adapted to the bottom by being flat and "camouflaged". It also has long antennas that have lights on the end that represent little fish so that when a fish goes by they go to eat the fish and the monk fish eats it. That is one animal that lives in the deep ocean who's habitat had adaptations to help it survive.
One animal that lives in the deep sea is the marine spider. The marine spider has web legs that help them stay up just like what raymond said. they also eat the marine snow to stay alive.
There is a squid that lives near the sea floor, (forgot name) that avoids it's predators by flashing light-up bacteria on it's tentacles to confuse it's enemy and likely to attract prey.

one animal is a sea spider. it eats dead sea snow. they have web legs and so they don't sink and helps them go up.

Monk Fish because it camouflages to the ground and has lights on the entenas to attract fish for food.

The vaimpier squide that has lights the will distract its prey so he could attack it.
