The scaly-foot gastropod or volcano snail lives on deep-sea volcanoes. It drinks volcano water so it can feed its internal bacteria that sustain it and its shell is made of iron.

Not the Marx Brothers’ best film but still pretty good. There are some really solid and classic sequences like the “swordfish” password bit and the excellent “I’m Against It” song.

Anyone know what temp they live at?

From the Ecology section of the article: The transitional zone, where these gastropods were found, is about 1–2 m (3–7 ft) in width, with temperature of 2–10 °C] The preferred water temperature for this species is about 5 °C.
