Too bad. He's not for me. My tank is mostly SPS but it would have been large enough for him.

That is exactly why I did not expect it. My Zoas and LPS were all fine. I thought it was jsut me neglectin gthe tank that some sps started lokoing bad, I didn't suspect there was somethign in my tank until one day i noticed a few of my SPS in one section of the tank were all messed up. Some of them were flipped around and upside down, some were broken and somethat were not flipped had pieces missing off them, and almost all of them on the tips were all rubbed and broken. (if you see these symptoms, better start looking for a worm!!) But maybe mine was just a freak worm who decided to have different tastes. Then my fishwent missing and i knew there was somethign wierd for sure. Then one night i saw him on my SPS .. i think even if he was not eating them, he was on top of thema nd his spikes and huge body rubbingitself on the coral was enough to kill the tissue right off it. Either way, he is NOT reef safe. I am sure the sps had munchingmarks though. Have you ever seen the jawz on those worms.. i almost wanted to throw up when i looked at his face really closely.
...Now that I think about it.. one of my fish that use to sleep over by the worm area suddenly started sleeping on the opposite side of the tank in the corner and i didnt know why.. maybe there was somethign to do with that.
