How do animals live at the bottom of the ocean, with the intense pressure?

I understand that there is immense pressure at the bottom of the ocean. This is why when we send submarines and such down, we need to counter this with either solid constriction or counter pressure. If a person were suddenly exposed to the pressure, they would be crushed, right?

So how do creatures live down there, ones such as anglerfish, and the tube worms near volcanic vents. I know they are not crushed, as they live down there, but how are they not?

Because they consist of incompressible materials, making the pressure pretty much irrelevant (wrt. "crushing", at least). Subs contain gases, so they can be compressed if the hull fails.

If you fill a balloon with air and take it to the bottom of the Challenger deep, it'll be crushed (that is, become very small). If you had filled that balloon with water instead, it will have the same size, since water is ~incompressible.
