Thats what i thought as well "why is there a smoke detector on the wall by the floor", i then reaalized that it is a jetted tub.

I can't remember where I read it, but I've heard of accounts of these worms striking at fish and chopping them in half from the speed and power of their jaws.

There are accounts on the internet of them eating small fish, ricordia, and zoas. Here's a video of one being fed a feeder fish. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tkUSx...eature=related

It is still in my bucket. Does anyone want it for their tank or sump?

I saw one in the pipes going to my fuge the other day... The lights went on and he was gone... I saw enough to know what it was though. How did you manage to remove this thing? Mine is about 6" long or what I saw of it. I really don't know how I will have the guts to deal with this, but if it is bad for the tank, I better get it out.

Mine is only about a foot long....worm I mean...I've been watching ours for about a year now, haven't lost any fish or corals yet, so left him alone so far...still not sure....but I kind of like him still

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.
