=This article would is a description of Enchytraeus albidus and not of E. Bucholzi. At the last paragraph of the article the author refers to Grindal worms which are in fact the real Enchytraeus bucholzi.The E. Albidus is the right name of what is known by aquarists as White worm, while E. bucholz is smaller lives at higher temperature and is generally known as grindal worm.There is no article yet on Enchytraeus albidus but there are quotes on the species:

It would be fantastic if there was something about the worm itself and not just how to raise them or use them for fish food. FyreFiend (talk) 01:33, 22 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I was working in my garden and I saw these worms as thin as a thread and more than four inches (10 cm) long. They were multi coloured. Whitish, yellowish, greenish at the ends and dark coloured in the middle. The dark colour was also multi coloured. Brown to black to what appeared to be dark green and even other colours.

Like Fyre friend, I would like a lot more info on what these worms are? I have been gardening for 60 yrs and this is the first time I noticed them. It is a cool rainy day in June here in Canada. And there were a quite a number of them. What make me notice them, was they they would stand up like a cobra snake and swirl themselves around in a circular motion, (like a dancer doing lots of twirling with their head and neck) quite fast. Like they were dancing. It was most interesting. That is what caught my attention. I was amazed. I wonder what they do, what purpose they serve? I would like a professional biologist to explain all this.
