Prehistoric Sewer Monster Caught on Video
Yeah apparently so...heres a little quote on the "lifeform"
"An aquatic specialist from the DOW confirmed that what the camera had discovered was actually a Bryozoan, a primitive life form that, as a species, is over 350 million years old.
The Bryozoans are collections of smaller organisms that filter food out of the water supply, and they are an extremely primitive "animal" life form.
Bryozoans aren't harmful, although they can occasionally clog water pipes.
For now, the Crestview water system isn't going to do anything about the animal in it's pipes."
Here is the video.

So basically it's a large slime mold during it's slug stage. I'm unimpressed.

Looks more like the inside of a human body than a sewer to me...
Here are some links about the animal colony.
http://www.charlotteobserver.com/lo...ory/812094.html
"It's really a colony of prehistoric creatures known either as bryozoans or moss animalcules, thousands of wormlike animals, biologists report. Clustered together in a glistening mass, they feed through tentacles on whatever floats past. More common in ponds, they have turned up in a set of sanitary sewer pipes under one of the country's oldest shopping centers."
"If they were to take on the qualities of a Sewer Monster, it would be a very slow attack. Bryozoans move 1 to 10 centimeters a day, Kwak said."

No, they are part of the animal kingdom. I believe that share the superphyla that also contains annelids, which these remind me of, to a certain extent.

I've seen more impressive worms in my reef aquarium (when I used to keep one). Some ****ers would extent over a foot at night out their burrow, looking for food (aka fish poop).
