hmmm, so you never saw this worm? Just wondered what it was like, how big, color, etc.

Ya, saw it once at night with a flashlight, very thin and red, about 16" long that I could see. It seemed to keep its' butt in the rock though, so not sure how long it really was.

Never heard of that before Brad! That's disgusting! Yuck, worms can be so gross.

But hey...Key Equine, I noticed your SG is 1.023 which is fine for a fish only tank, but if you plan on keeping a reef tank you should bump that up to 1.026.

I had a huge Polyclad Flatworm that ate snails and actually ate a small Clam in my old tank. The beast was completely nocturnal and only ate snails, I caught it one night dragging a snail into a hole.

I identified the Flatworm as the one that I have linked below;
