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?

Can I ask how you caught the thing? I have many hideous visuals in my mind. It looks like it could wr itself around your arm when you grabbed it, and a net does not seem doable. Cool creature, but I am disturbed to think they can live in a tank wothout being noticed.
