What I found in my tank today

A Steve Weast special. Ok it wasn't 7 feet but I'm sure it was two easy before it broke in half. The pics suck as I was so creeped out by it I could hardly keep still

I'm pretty sure its of the same ilk as Steve W's worm as it mowed down a considerable number of zoos and rics before I hauled them out of there last August. I have no idea what its been eating since then.

But it sure ain't no mantis, which is what I was expecting

And a big thanks to Ken (Scavenger) who "dealt" with it for me

Got the tank all moved and the "creature from the deep" out of there. I have no idea what was making the clicking sound as there was no pistol or mantis to be found. I did find a really tiny diadema urchin though

So you breaded and deep fried them till they were crispy and finger licking good

The only time I have been freaked out by a bristle worm is when I went to reach for a small clump of zoas in the sand once and picked up a 4" bristle worm instead. The bristle worm went flying across the room and some not very nice words came out of my mouth

. I really REALLY don't want to know if i have a giant worm hiding in the rocks

OMG! That worm freaks me out, too

Glad I didn't find one in my reef.
