ok so I was feeding the Brain last night and under the moon light I saw something waving.. thinking the brain had a mutent tentical I hit it with the flash light and almost freaked out, there was a ugly worm trying to steal the shrimp.. but this guy was huge.. from the pictures you can see how he extends from the rock into the sand and under the brain them up on the Brain. the arrows point to its body.

Sweet!!!

My wife often does the suprise flashlight spotting at night on the tank, and occasionally I'll hear her scream out..

"OH MY GOD, LOOK AT THE SIZE OF THAT WORM... THAT IS SO GROSS!!!"

I just laugh and think "it's cool to have a healthy tank" :D

That's a great shot Steve, thanks for sharing. I have a hitch hiker crab that does the same thing every day.

Once in a while I jam food into my sandbed primarily for the worms. Of course, this doesn't help to keep them small .... [img]smile.gif[/img]

Steve, I think that might be "the one". Find any slimey snail shells near that rock?

actualy no I haven't... but now that you say that I will have to keep my eyes open.
