Hi all,

Attached is a video frame grab of a field of tubes in situ from about 1000 m in Cook Strait.  There's quite a strong current going past right to left but the tubes don't flex at all. The visible tube lengths would be about 150 mm. No tentacles to be seen. I was thinking Polychaeta, perhaps a large chaetopterid.  Other suggestions welcome.

Cheers,

Geoff
