Me too. I thought it might have been a pistol shrimp in my tank for all these years. Now, no more clicking.

This reminds me of dinner last night. Why you may ask? Raf and I got a nice Cod fillet from the Quay last night for dinner. Fried it up, cut it open, and I proceeded to pull out about a 2 inch worm from inside the fish meat. It was some sort of parasite, burrowed right into the meat of the fish. Needless to say I almost vomited and fainted at the same time. I think I will PASS on eating fish for a while, especially sashimi. shudddder. I cant get the image of it out of my head!

I had to do a double take when I first saw this image.. "Why is the worm and smashed rock on his ceiling next to the smoke detector?" Strange how the brain interprets images sometimes.
I did the same thing actually :lol:. It makes that large bristleworm seem tiny compared to it!

Worms on the side

I'm going to have seafood nightmares tonight.
At least you didn't bite into it.
I shop there too, could happen anywhere, but OMG thats AWFUL.

I had a large one for many years. It was vegetarian, but I also suspected it ate xenia. Sadly, he went along with the rock when I sold the system.

It was worth taking apart my tank to get rid of that worm. no more missing corals since then and no more chunks taken out of my fish. I wish I took pics of my dime sized baby hippo tang with its entire tail bit off and with guts hanging out. people would have been shocked to see it. i thought for sure it was a goner. but it survived. at the time i remembered thinking that the fish going to die so why take a photo of it. I generally don't take photos of dying corals, etc and so i didnt take a photo of the fish. would have made a great conversation piece now.

"Discovered: 'Barry' the sea worm had been nestling under coral reef, attacking it and fish, at Newquay's Blue Reef Aquarium in Cornwall"
