My 2 foot Eunicid Worm

[my2rotties]

I saw one in the pipes going to my fuge the other day... The lights went on and he was gone... I saw enough to know what it was though. How did you manage to remove this thing? Mine is about 6" long or what I saw of it. I really don't know how I will have the guts to deal with this, but if it is bad for the tank, I better get it out.

Beautiful specimen. I would say yes, but our 420g isn't up and running yet. He would be good in my sump(135g). Has anyone heard of them ecsaping?

I heard some clicking from a rock I'm curing in a tote. I figured I had a mantis or pistol shrimp hiding in there. Imagine my surprise to find a 14" eunicid in the trap I placed in the tote! Haven't heard any clicking since. However after a bit of poking the rock with a pencil, I did shake out a bunch of dead little sps frags I paid $7 bucks a pound for!! :P and a couple crabs in trap the next day.
And just to be safe, a trap goes into the tote or curing tank for each and every rock I ever cure! Nice to catch them before they hit the display.

Me too. I thought it might have been a pistol shrimp in my tank for all these years. Now, no more clicking.

This reminds me of dinner last night. Why you may ask? Raf and I got a nice Cod fillet from the Quay last night for dinner. Fried it up, cut it open, and I proceeded to pull out about a 2 inch worm from inside the fish meat. It was some sort of parasite, burrowed right into the meat of the fish. Needless to say I almost vomited and fainted at the same time. I think I will PASS on eating fish for a while, especially sashimi. shudddder. I cant get the image of it out of my head!
