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? Last edited by Samw; 12-30-2008 at 09:49 AM.

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.

That was definately a Eunicid worm in your tank, do a search on reefcentral a guy caught one 6ft long that was feeding on his mushrooms. It lived in the pvc pipes he used as a plenum under his sand he took some INSANE pics.
