Default Reef nightmare is over

It was a size of the pencil not too long ago,it ate all of my small fish, zoas, red mushrooms, was eating leather , brain coral...
I was considering a mantis shrimp to get rid of this thing.
But got lucky and noticed a rock that it went the oother nigt.
took the rock out of the tank and started to poke it with the screw driver, the worm instantly devided on three!, and more.
it was about 12-15 inches when i got it out so you can imagine how big this thing was when relaxed!!!

it was a enuice worm.

Eew! I had a two footer, ate every zoo/ricordea/anything resembling a soft coral in my tank. Finally I figured out where he was hiding and took the rock out. I was pretty grossed out. Kudos to you on getting the close up photos. I was across the room when "we" got mine out of the rock

I'm pretty sure that just ruined my breakfast.

Glad you got it out

I think the hardest part of getting one of those would be containing my excitement about getting it out.

Fire. And lots of it.

By the way, I'm never reachinging into my tank again.
