Probably not, although the Portuguese eat almost anything I don't remember seeing those on the market :) (but I remember seeing round worms inside the flesh of some fishes, but those worms were parasites, not predators like these).
That animal appears to be a ribbon-worm, that's why I said "call me when they find a new species" (although I should have said "a new order", as that's more likely to represent an alien creature than just a new species), these are known for a long time.
So do the pink worms live inside it or does it eat them... I wonder how big they are in our sewers

I guess the worm balls are pretty normal, they are just learning more about worm behavior it seems.
QuoteIn one of our newsletters we had a reader who inquired why earthworms form clumps of balls together in compost or when out in the open. One of the reasons is because this is their form of communication.
The study has been published in the journal of Ethology mentioning that worms uses 'touch' to communicate and influence each others behavior. After communication signals have been swapped, the worms will then collectively move in the same direction, meaning that worms do not act singularly, but form 'herds'.

What pink worms? ???
Well it certainly seems to be a Ribbon Worm, maybe a deep sea variety.They come in all colors!

The tongue like thing would be the proboscis
The elongated appendages look like little branches that break into finer and finer branches. Invertebrates use proboscis to attach and feed upon a host.
QuoteThe longest species of worm of any kind is the bootlace worm (Lineus longissimus), a species of nemertean or ribbon worm, inhabiting shallow waters of the North Sea. In 1864, following a severe storm at St Andrews in Fife, UK, a record-breaking specimen was washed ashore, and was found to measure over 55 m (180 ft) long.
