Speak to Kien, he has one, he's out taking it for a walk right now :biggrin:

I caught one in my tank, but I got him out long before he was 4' long. :lol: Loosely referred to as Eunicid sp. worms.

Thanks for posting, crazy to think what can come in our rock!

Not sure if I agree with this statement though;

The tropical worm is capable of inflicting permanent numbness on humans with its sting.

I have been stung by countless bristleworms, numbness yes, permanent... not so much.

yeah some of these articles by seemingly non-hobby folk seem to over-exaggerate things just a little. nasty thing nonetheless and yeah it made me go back to steve weast's page to see his even larger monster again.

Imagine having something that long living in your digestive tract.... Now THAT will keep you awake at night.

Respect to all life but that thing is U-G-L-Y!

I found 1 that was 3ft in my 120g I ripped down, kept losing big prized Zoas and other frags never figured out why until I took the tank down. It was disgusting to find the one eyed monster.....
