Dear Dr.Rudman.

Thank you for your comments [#17155 ].
Unfortunately this is the only other photo I have so I can't tell you more about the head.  I can't say whether the brown clumps are tube worms.

Locality: Echizen coast, Fukui Pref,  Japan, 5 m, 17 May 2006, on the stone. Length: approx 10 mm. Photographer: Yasuhiro Shamoto.

Dear Yasu,

Thanks for this extra photo. I suspect the brown clumps are groups of worm tubes, but it's hard to be sure.

Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
