The Walter Worms were from Helmut Walter, of Germany, who gave them to

They are totally different -- also called mini-mikro worms by Herr Walter,
they are supposedly a bit smaller than microworms and live longer under water.
The jury is still out on those claims, but I think Don Greig has studied them a

correct that statement, as he sees fit. :-)
