Oh come on ! if something looks creepy does that mean we shuld kill it?
I think they are magnificent creatures ! when light hits them at right angle the show very nice colors !
Besides crabs and snails die off quickly when there is not enough debris and pollute even more. But worms are tough enough to survive hunger strikes.

Coral Banded Shrimp will eat them. Get 2 of them.

From what I have read, lots of people on the other forum said they are not reef safe. They will eat corals and everything else like shrimps, snails, crabs ... in your tank, they will eat even your small fish at night.

Oh yeah and you are very lucky if you will be able to catch it ! they are so smart and grow so fast.
This one worm had me convinced that next time when i will set up a new tank it will be only dry rock, NOT the live rock.
And yes i had to kill it even though i think it is magnificent creature. I would have kept it in the sump or even in small tank but i could not get it out in one piece unfortunately and also i was so mad at it for wiping out the live stock and corals.
They do eat EVERYTHING ! small fish, soft corals, LPS corals, algae and detritus. The only way i could catch one in my tank is to quickly take the rock out and use a long screw driver.
It was almost 0.5 inch in diameter and about 15" inch long! some pple seen 4 feet long!
