Hi Ingvald

 

Hope you don't mind me replying but I've also photographed Number 4 in close-up this year.

 

This worm is Serpula vermicularis. Rarely its a reef builder (there are biogenic reefs built by this worm in both Scotland and Ireland) - Do you get any of these reefs?

Oooh, something a little more challenging than the usual Indo-Pacific or Caribbean stuff! 4 is Serpula vermicularis as Paul said, and 3 is Ophiodromus flexuosus. I'm certain about those. The rest are guesses either because I'm not too familiar with the fauna or I can't see the characters necessary to be sure. 1: Hydroides norvegica, 2: Cerianthus lloydii, 5: Nipponnemertes pulcher (really uncertain on this one). thanks for the entertainment, Leslie
