How crayfish survive in sediment-filled water has been a mystery to scientists. Findings suggest that tiny worms living may be the answer. Tiny crayfish worms attach to the crayfish and act as little cleaners by eating the sediment on the crayfish and providing food and a place to reproduce for the worms. They help one another survive.
