Ha ha ha, that's hilarious! Looks like someone here is a bit squeemish!

I'd keep him as a pet, what does he eat? You could call him Spike!

LOL Spike! The plants are fake, my wife insisted on them for the QT tank for the fishes. I think they eat most anything.

Dude, that thing is insane. Put some ghost shrimp in and see if there is predatory behaviour!

Do you have a sump? I think he's destined for sump-or-refugium-life....unless you've had no problems with fish or coral loss so far?

He would be really cool to have in a species tank.

I got a 60g sump but I also have a 30g QT tank running all the time so I may just keep him in there for now till I figure out what to do with him. I don't plain on getting ride of him, yet!

Would one need to know the species, in order to call it a species tank?? LMAO

I just saw one of these in my tank today. I tried to take a pic but as soon as it heard my camera's lense motor, it shot back into its cave. I read that it can retreat at 20feet/second.

http://reefkeeping.com/issues/2003-04/rs/index.php

"Contraction back into a burrow has been clocked in excess of 20 feet per second, and if only a couple of feet of the worm are visible while it is foraging, that worm can disappear, quite literally, in the blink of an eye."

There's a picture of one in the above article where the author named it Max. I wonder if it's Untamed's pictures?
