Chiridota heheva is a species of
Western Atlantic Ocean, but has a cosmopolitan distribution. It was described by Pawson and Vance in 2004.[1][2][3] It occupies all three types of chemosynthetic ecosystems; hydrothermal vents, cold seeps, and organic fall. Unlike many other animals in similar environments, they do not host chemosynthetic bacteria.[4]
