These worms seem to be feeding on huge diatoms I found in a salt marsh in a local fen.

Excellent shots. That is some fen you've got near you.

Thanks David. It is protected, so a wonderful place to visit as it has several micro ecosystems that differ vastly in their composition.

Nice stuff, Waldo. Looks like what you have there might be a [/i]Dalyellia rossi order Rhabdocoelida.
