Bill, I am going to toss a few more pictures from tonight in this thread for you to look at. I am still stumped, when I peel this stuff off the wood there is almost always a small blood worm or two underneath. Could this mystery stuff be some type of insect eggs? Or do you still think this is some type of bryozoan?

This small piece of wood was floating in the pond tonight.


Here is the end of it.


I peeled back a small piece off the end and there are three blood worms underneath, other places that I peal back also have small worms 1/3 this size that are not quite red yet, they are greenish brown and very small.




Thoughts?
