Beard worms do not inhabit one specific part of the world's oceans but are distributed across ocean floors as long as the surrounding environmental conditions are suitable; these populations are referred to as metapopulations. Most commonly, these organisms are found on the ocean floor, at depths ranging from approximately 25 meters to several hundred meters.
