I think if I saw one in real life and was able to watch it move I would be more comfortable. All I have seen of this creature is the spooky pictures and descriptions of it moving very fast and eating babies.
If I can see it then I can "catalog it" and thus probably not be such a wuss whenever you guys post pictures of this thing.

I had one and it made very expensive snacks of all of my zoos and ricordeas. Eventually I hauled them all out to a nano and made short work of removing its lair in which it was also using various SPS frags to shore up its front door. Awesome time had by all upon its removal. I was across the room at the time

 Its very difficult to take video of them in action in a tank because they only come out in the dark.It does look like an awesome creature to keep in a species only tank. I noticed that it makes a huge amount of waste. My container water is full of crap and is all yellow over a few hours. Last edited by Samw; 03-23-2009 at 06:44 PM.

IME, they typically keep their tail ends deep inside their burrows and extend out to grab something to eat. Upon grabbing whatever, they retreat QUICKLY (blink and you'll miss it) into the burrow. I think they would prefer to take items that are small enough to disappear right inside, but you might also see something pinned up against the entrance.
Also, they don't poop in their burrow...Every now and again you will see the forked tail stick out of the burrow for a quick poop! They have no problem doing a U-turn along the length of their body within the confines of their tunnel. I suppose the point is, you rarely or never get to see the entire worm at once. In fact, to this day, I really don't know how long my largest worm actually was. At least 2 feet, but maybe more.
