I wouldn't recommend watching this clip while eating. Doesn't really make Cameron the new tourist hotspot either... :fish2:

Very strange indeed. I'm assuming it has to be some kind of hoax though, I googled it and couldn't find anything about them in any science news. They certainly look weird.

Just was reading this piece earlier:

to quote a freshwater bio expert:
"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."
