...while breaking down my own tank. I had a real moral crisis: thing has been living in there for years, doing no detectable harm in a flourishing reef that frags out its own volume of lps per year; and they're such a pretty species... but he was certifiably hermodice carunculata, and I'm not keen on having a large fireworm finding a reproduction partner in my reef rock, so he's toast.

I do think perhaps, at least for lps, that the worry about fireworms is a bit more than it needs to be.
