little turkey...
 

I found this guy tonight while renovating my tank. Nasty little sucker, 5" and plump like a holiday turkey. It even glistens like one too...

whooo we pulled one like that outa my tank last night as well! scary little bastages hey.

I thought most of these scary guys were fine to leave in the tank??
I've seen a lot of threads claiming that most worms are "harmless detritivores".
If anyone in the know can add an opinion that would be great :)

Unfortunately as the grow larger deleterious isn't enough food to keep these guys happy. They turn to corals for their substitute :twised:. I have alway seen the small bristle worms in my tank but I am sure over the last six years I have kept this rock there are some big suckers I haven't seen. Nice find michika
:biggrin:

Thanks!

I just turned over the rock and wham, right on the surface! I figured why not take a picture for posterity sake!

I have had at least 4 of them that are over 12" long for more than 2 years, they have never done anything but eat fish food. There are a couple tipes that seam to like snails when they get bigger, but I have never heard of them eating corals.
