My latest baddie

No, not by choice, I've been fighting these hitch-hiking eunicid worms for several months now. Not a great picture, but unique enough to share.

I just caught what I hope are my last two...they eat all manner of softies, zoas, even LPS tissue.

That is a crazy looking worm. How long is it?

[jeffbrig]

That particular one was at least 18". I held the rock over an empty bucket, and a few inches of it were laying flat on the bottom. Of course, the worm broke off, so some of the worm is still in the rock (which is NOT in my tank).

How do you pull something out?

Yeesh, that thing is fugly. Great picture, but fugly :D

[jeffbrig]

I pulled the rock and squirted seltzer water in all of the holes until the worm crawled out. They don't like the carbonation and fizzies, I suppose.
