    Thanks for all of the replies! I just wanted to make sure they weren't anything bad. Here is a closer picture.

    Yup, they look like juvenile feather duster worms (see the pics posted above of spiral shaped critters). Perfectly normal and not at all harmful.

    Nice site, thanks for the link.

    Bob Fenner isn't he the bass player for Jethro Tul? Or did he play Jethro in the Beverly Hillbillies? Can't remember :p

    And if you can see the detail in that pic, with or without glasses, I'll call you Steve Austin! - - just thought I'd date us (maybe Tangster is the only one who has us there) 8)

    Thanks again for the link.

    Am I the only one who can see the spiral shape in the dots in Jamie's picture? Thankfully, bad eyesight doesn't run in my family :D
