Those most certainly are some kind of "worms". I've seen a demonstration of them in a video: When under water they swim around quite independently but when water slowly gets less they clunch together to a big bulk which then starts to "pulse" when being stimulated e.g. by light...

Especially when the bulk of worms starts to move you could see some single worms quite clearly but Youtube quality is too bad for that...

EDIT:
Should be those:
