And another expert says it's NOT Bryozoan:
"Dr. Timothy S. Wood who is an expert on freshwater bryozoa and an officer with the International Bryozoology Association. I sent along the video and this was his reponse…

Thanks for the video – I had not see it before. No, these are not bryozoans! They are clumps of annelid worms, almost certainly tubificids (Naididae, probably genus Tubifex). Normally these occur in soil and sediment, especially at the bottom and edges of polluted streams. In the photo they have apparently entered a pipeline somehow, and in the absence of soil they are coiling around each other. The contractions you see are the result of a single worm contracting and then stimulating all the others to do the same almost simultaneously, so it looks like a single big muscle contracting. Interesting video."

This video makes it a little more believable that it could be a clump of these worms

if you imagine that they would look deflated and slimy when the water in the pipe is drained.

You have become blasé from hanging in *timeshift too much. But you have to agree that it's pretty impressive with just HQ as well.

Not to be a curmudgeon, but this is just slowed-down broadcast footage (the Youtube description says as much). There's no information here that you don't get from watching it in real time. I was hoping this was shot with a 1000fps camera or something.
