zerglings on earth? what is this?

I think there was a similar thread on a while ago. They said it was a bunch of worms coiled together, which react as one body when disturbed.

Well, seen this way, it is strange. I am not an expert in sewer fauna, though...

They say its a tubex worm or some

like that. But i've been searching for pictures as much as i can and the clusters of those worms do NOT look like those in this video. The only other explanation is that they're covered with some sort of bacteria. Thing is, if they had that much bacteria then they woudlen't react to the light since they woulden't have any at all.

Thanks for the video – I had not see it before. No, these are not bryozoans! They are clumps of annelid worms, almost certainly tubificids (Naididae, probably genus Tubifex). Normally these occur in soil and sediment, especially at the bottom and edges of polluted streams. In the photo they have apparently entered a pipeline somehow, and in the absence of soil they are coiling around each other. The contractions you see are the result of a single worm contracting and then stimulating all the others to do the same almost simultaneously, so it looks like a single big muscle contracting. Interesting video.
