Default This will make you think about

where you stick your hands!!!!!! I did a water change today & also changed some Zeolights when I was putting my reactor together I could not find the the thumb screw. I looked every where, so I thought it fell under my reactor in the sump. I pulled out my reactor & seen something move I grabbed my trusty scraper & this huge worm moved I said holy $%#@ wtf is that thing. I caught it & moved it to my QT tank & took some pictures. Its about 2 feet long & about 1.5 inch's wide. Sorry for the poor quality but the lighting really sucks in that tank. have a look, & becarfull where stick your hands you never know whats there!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! What type of worm is it?

As much as I like worms, I wouldn't knowingly keep a sucker that big in my reef tank.


It might make a cool pet in its own little tank though...for somebody who isn't me

Wow, dude. That's insane. I actually pulled my bare feet out from under the desk when I saw it, as if an identical worm was lurking under the desk, ready to eat my feet. Haha.

No idea on the ID.

Ha ha ha, that's hilarious! Looks like someone here is a bit squeemish!

I'd keep him as a pet, what does he eat? You could call him Spike!

LOL Spike! The plants are fake, my wife insisted on them for the QT tank for the fishes. I think they eat most anything.
