Dear Olivier,

Your tubes belong certainly to a polychaete and looks very similar to the
reef-building serpulid polychaete Ficopomatus enigmaticus (Fauvel), which is
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.
Regards,
Henk K. Mienis
