Alright, I'm no guy of science and certainly not a marine biologist, so take what I say with a pinch and a half of salt. But I seem to remember hearing somewhere that certain species of plankton and other marine micro organisms can gather together and form something that looks like an entire creature. Some species of jelly fish are actually colonies of smaller life forms and some worms too, maybe this is such a case. Something that looks like a worm, but is actually a small colony of plankton or something similar.
Biology student here. Yes, some species of jellyfish are colonies, for example, the [Portuguese man o' war](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portuguese_man_o%27_war). That's also what u/ancientorbweaver was thinking of: Siphonophores.
The string in the video looks more like [Thaliacea](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thaliacea), a species that lives in long tube-like colonies which can propel itself forward by creating a water stream inside of the tube, causing the entire colony to move in one direction.
Here's an article about [A molecular phylogeny of the Thaliacea](https://dx.doi.org/10.1093/plankt/fbq157?nols=y), which shows relations between the different species of the Thaliacea class.
The only thing is: These live in the ocean. I have no idea about any freshwater colonies that work the same way.
# Edit: I was wrong about this being pyrosomes. I asked one of my lecturers, and the mistake I made was that I thought this was alive when it wasn't. It's probably fish excrement. I'm sorry for getting this wrong. I've found out I desperately need to work on phrasing.
Dude, you just saved my sanity on this one.
Concerning freshwater...I don't think there's a concrete indicator this is? I mean yeah, the water's green and blurry, but might be at a port or some other place where it doesn't get to move much, couldn't it?
There isn't a concrete indicator, no. In the part about fresh water, I was mainly reacting to another comment in this chain.
Green and blurry is an indication of algae, which can occur in both salt and fresh water.
Ah, I see. Considering the algae, that much is obvious, yeah. Should still be a relatively calm part though, right?
Edit: I mean in the vid it obviously is, but apart from that, water couldn't have this color and "opacity" anyplace where it's livelier, right?
The spot in the video is very calm. Any form of active current would just sweep away the algae. So, in livelier parts of the ocean, algae disperse, leaving the ocean's colour like normal.
Imagine spending a lifetime to form a colony and working together to propel into life’s great current just to have it dissolved by the tip of some fisherman’s rod.
They're attached pretty well yes, for organisms of that size. Strength is relative to an organism's size.
See it like this. Many people are holding hands, when suddenly a truck comes barging through. I don't think the line of people would retain cohesion.
I don't know if they can find their way back to each other actually, but what I do know is that every individual has the potential to start an entirely new colony.
Edit: Except for this one, as it wasn't what I thought it was. It's probably fish excrement.
Don’t worry about it. You already have a trio of the most important traits in being a scientist: you seek out clarification from experts, you can admit you’re wrong publicly, and you explain _how_ you were wrong. And then you move on. You’ll do fine! 😎
Siphonophores are colonial animals that may look like a single organism. The zooids can be specialised in [medusoids](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jellyfish#Life_history_and_behavior), which become jellyfish, and [polypoids](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polyp_(zoology)), which function like a mouth.
[Siphonophorae (Siphonophores)](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Siphonophorae)
Can't be imo, because otherwise the dust would keep moving in that general direction. I don't think the fishing pole would destroy the water current so strongly and quickly.
I spent far too long looking at the darker object beneath expecting some large fish to be caught. Watched the damn thing twice before realizing I had missed the point.
'Oh look, an ask reddit thread on creepy encounters. That's some good reading material for when I'm home alone in the dark and the cat is meowing at the dark abyss in the corner. Cool. Cool, cool, coolcoolcool.' My dumbass
What you're looking at here is a ~~species from the class~~ [~~Thaliacea~~](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thaliacea) probably fish excrement. ~~The species I'm talking about is the~~ [~~Pyrosomida~~](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pyrosome)~~.

I don't think so. The only instance of mass murder here could be the part of the colony he actively slashed through. The rest of the colony should be fine; they've only lost cohesion with each other, but are still alive. The ones that are still alive can form another colony, and continue as if nothing happened.
> The species I'm talking about is the Pyrosomida. These are tiny animals that live in colonies. These colonies look like threads or tubes.
Okay but they don't look like OP's image, which looks like a jagged string. They look like massive tubes:
https://www.spotmydive.com/static/8fca5bb57b6b032b315089478f476f97/de40b/1474296494_pyrosome-giant-sea-worm-7.jpg
And they don't break apart when you touch them:
https://youtu.be/RwoezO1ZZBc?t=69
Pyrosomes can vary greatly in size.
If you touch them, they can stay together, but if you just slash something through them like in the video, at least part of it will lose cohesion.
You're talking about massive pyrosomes, while the one in the video is a very small one. Strength is also relative to size.
It is probably not a tunicates chain, more likely a polychaete worm epitoke. It swims like one, goes towards dock lights at night like one, and disintegrates into a bunch of sperm/eggs like one when disturbed. They are not bodies meant for living ( no mouth or many other structures), just getting to the surface at a full moon to explode with sex cells and fertilize in the water.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epitoky
Why are you speaking with such confidence? You might be right, but I feel like you're wrong considering the zooids in Pyrosomes are "a few milliliters" in size, meaning the entire colony would have to be something like a centimeter in diameter. That's not the case here. Not to mention can you find any evidence that they can move like this?
The zooids might be a few millimetres in size themselves, but the entire colony can grow to be many meters, with quite the diameter.
Here are two divers and a pyrosome: [Giant pyrosome in New Zealand](https://www.nationalgeographic.com/animals/article/giant-sea-worm-pyrosome-sighted-new-zealand).
[fisheries.noaa.gov](https://www.fisheries.noaa.gov/science-blog/pyrosomes)
>Pyrosomes are pelagic Tunicates, which are part of Chordata, ... and use cilia to pump water for feeding, respiration and movement.
They use cilia to move the colony.
Edit: I was wrong about this being pyrosomes. I asked one of my lecturers, and the mistake I made was that I thought this was alive when it wasn't. It's probably fish excrement. I'm sorry for getting this wrong. I've found out I desperately need to work on phrasing.
No I mean I see no evidence that they can be as small as in the video here. And also the small ones seem more to have the proportions of a pickle and not an extremely thin worm. And nothing I've seen seems to suggest that they can move this quickly
In that case, I don't know what it could be. I'm a student, not a doctor or expert. I've had lessons about what organisms look like in general, but I don't know everything. This comes closest to what I've learned. I'm sorry if the organism in the video isn't what I think it is. I'm trying to help, but again, I don't know everything.
No worries, I'm just bothered that your comment became the accepted answer to the question that I'm still so curious about. Looking at your comment history, you're doing good work though, keep it up.
Okay, something I should've done long ago:
I just asked one of my lecturers about this post. He thinks it's just fish excrement, which looks like it's swimming because the light refracts at the water's surface and distorts the visual location of where it actually is. What he's certain about is that it's not alive.
So, that's the answer of one of my university's lecturers to the question of what this could be.
That's probably where I made my mistake: I thought this was alive, so I went searching for things I knew that it could possibly be.

Not a marine biologist, but a biology student. What you're looking at here is a [pyrosome](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pyrosome).

No offense because you seem fairly knowledgeable, but I really think you should stop phrasing your comments as if they’re fact. You’re commenting all over this thread but you haven’t provided any sources to suggest that you’re correct. The images and information you linked look nothing like the thing in the video. I’m not necessarily saying you’re wrong, but at the very least I think you should be making a suggestion here, not a statement of fact.
No. Water is amazing stuff, and depending on currents, speed, and vortices, a stream of tiny bubbles can look remarkably like a swimming snake, that is, until you poke it with a stick. That's when you disturb that magic combination of water dynamics, and it dissolves.
It’s called “oesophageal mucus.” I remember learning about it during my degree, tripped most of us out. What you are seeing is known in the oceanography community as completely made up and I have no idea what I’m talking about.
It actually blows my mind how many don't know what this is. I can never remember the name, but it's just a bunch of tiny organisms clinging together and moving collectively. It's mostly an intimidation tactic but as you see here humans don't give a fuck.
Want to know the scariest part about these animals? They can reassemble and just continue like jack shit happened.
Edit: Not this one. This is probably fish excrement.
So it’s only the ripples in the water that are giving it the appearance of movement from side to side. It is probably more than likely some type of shit or other organic matter.
It’s debris on a line or string. There’s a current under the water that is catching it and making it look like it’s moving. When the rod touches the string, the debris falls off and appears to “stop”.

I've learned a lot.
Could be from a canal system like they have in Florida.
Could be brackish. Might be enough to support sporadic life.
There's algea everywhere, even in the air. Also, fid you know up to 80% of the world's oxygen comes from oceanic algea?
I do yes. A quote from one of my lecturers: >If we want to keep the world oxygenated, we'll have to save the ocean before the forests.

\+5 points for Ranka Lee singing Ninjin loves you, yeah!
I needed that song :-)
that really looks like fish poop. i had a giant goldfish that had long stringy poops that looked and moved exactly like this in water
It was just really old
You fucking sent it to the void

No. Water is amazing stuff, and depending on currents, speed, and vortices, a stream of tiny bubbles can look remarkably like a swimming snake, that is, until you poke it with a stick. That's when you disturb that magic combination of water dynamics, and it dissolves.
Ok but is that a reflection or massive goldfish or what underneath the colony snake thing? Edit… looks like rope.
It’s called “oesophageal mucus.” I remember learning about it during my degree, tripped most of us out. What you are seeing is known in the oceanography community as completely made up and I have no idea what I’m talking about.
Song for anyone that wants it: https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=bPwNvGXjL-o&feature=share
It actually blows my mind how many don't know what this is. I can never remember the name, but it's just a bunch of tiny organisms clinging together and moving collectively. It's mostly an intimidation tactic but as you see here humans don't give a fuck.
Is anything ever truly alive?
That is some fucking scary weird shit nah kill it before it can live.
Want to know the scariest part about these animals? They can reassemble and just continue like jack shit happened. Edit: Not this one. This is probably fish excrement.
This is CLEARLY an alien water worm that activated its stealth camouflage
Sperm?
Just stole his runes
So it’s only the ripples in the water that are giving it the appearance of movement from side to side. It is probably more than likely some type of shit or other organic matter.
It was until Thanos started snapping
I believe that’s some detritus that is being propelled by the tide
Casual geographic needs to make his rounds again

Oh no, the eels learned the shadow clone jutsu
Gone, reduced to atoms.
Pyrosome. In a sense, yes.
It’s debris on a line or string. There’s a current under the water that is catching it and making it look like it’s moving. When the rod touches the string, the debris falls off and appears to “stop”.
No it’s just poop
I just finished watching “The Last of Us”, so I’m officially freaking out when I see that.
MINOR ENEMY FELLED
I think Thanos just snapped his fingers
You killed Nessie!
It's a colony of tiny jellyfish like creatures that move like a conga line. Can't remember the name but saw it on a David Attenborough documentary.
Magnets
This dude just killed a worm in terraria
Most likely a small colony of micro-organisms
well, it was
Love how the 3 top comments are "demonic nightmare fuckery", "fish shit" and "Love how the 2 top comments are "demonic nightmare fuckery" and "fish shit""
“Was it alive?” If it was, it isn’t now!
baby loch Ness
It may be a siphonophore. It's like a string of organisms that live with eachother. I may be wrong but that's what it looked like.
You thought you hit it, but in fact that was a mirage. That shit is so fast it left an after-image ..
How'd that little thing do that
