Olivier,
If you have a copy of the book The Mollusks: A Guide to Their Study,
Collection, and Preservation, page 365 gives some info on annelids and
tubed gastropods. This info will not help you in identifying them to
genus, species. It is just general guidelines to help differentiating
between gastropods and annelids that have analogous tube structures.
> Dear Olivier,

> Your tubes belong certainly to a polychaete and looks very similar to the
> reef-building serpulid polychaete Ficopomatus enigmaticus (Fauvel), which

> also known as Mercierella enigmatica in the older literature. That species
> may be especially rather common in the estuaries of rivers and in lagoons
> throughout the Mediterranean. However, correct identification is only by
> examining the animal.
