+1 on the eunicid worm. I had one that mowed down colonies of zoos and ricordeas overnight. You'd have to have a lot of nudis to take down that many zoos overnight. And with that many you'd definitely see them IMO.

If it is a Eunicid worm, you will need to camp out and find out which rock it lives in and then your best bet is to remove the rock. If you try to rip him out you may end up with several worms as the segment relatively easily.

Good Luck!

Ugh im gunna be some upset if theres a 2 foot long worm in my tank but after losing 400+ polyps of zoas the culprit is probably a decent size and now that i think about it they are disapearing way way to fast for it to be some tiny unit chowing on them
