bobbit worm (eunice)... check out the jaws on this guy. lol joke though. these guys live in the sand. apparently when the feed, they trap fish and do it so forcefully that they often split the prey in two! ouch.

I keep those in my tank also. My largest is probably 2-3 feet long (Max) ...and that's in my hex that has no side larger than 1.5 ft. Even at that length, Max couldn't ingest anything bigger than a pencil eraser. There are hundreds of species, but Max is mainly vegetarian unless something dies conveniently in reach. They are VERY good at pulling things toward their homes. If it won't fit down the hole, it is dropped at the doorstep.
Here's a shot of Max, grabbing a leafy snack.
Of course there was Steve Weast's famous 7 footer...but even that one wasn't taking fish, it was eating coral polyps.
