    Hey guys,

    Could use a hand ID'ing what started to be a small group of white circular tube worm things? They used to be in a smaller grouped clump on the underside of one rock. Now I'm noticing them on a few other rocks as well. They don't seem to be getting bigger I don't think though.

    Any Ideas / Suggestions?

    A really good close up helps. But if they are worms they are prob something like spyroid worms or something. ya know. can always do a search. answers come a lot quicker and you learn a lot more things when you do the foot work yourself. just a fyi

    i have learned that if u want to find something out there is a thread on hitchinkers i usually look there first. but i agree with inwall they look like spirorbid worms.
