help with removal of huge Eunice Worm

[Ryanerickson]

Crazy story glad you caught it thanks for sharing can't wait for pics.

GROSS!

I'm glad you got it out though. At 5 feet long, it could really do some damage!

I had no idea what a eunice worm is. Ugh. My wife would make me do a full tear down if I had one of those aliens in my tank.

Couple of quick pics.

Its thick when shrivelled, maybe two double A batteries, stretched to 5 feet in the tank..

It took me hours to fall asleep last night after I caught it.. I kept thinking of waking up in the morning, going to the bucket, opening the lid, and the worm not be there..

I have read that some think the body can regenerate a head when broke off.. Anyone know if there is any fact to this? Anyone want the body to do some myth busting?

Now, im debating disposal... no way im flushing this down the toilet, I would never be able to sit on it again...

I know someone wanted it when I caught it, I will reach out to them.. Im guessing I would sending the part with the head...

You can try selling it to the dark side of the market. Pretty sure they can find use of it to enlarge or boost something

Bad joke?

I would have burnt it right then and there before going to the bed. Because of Murphy's law!

Great news....can I come see it?

That's an impressive tank story man. Yes, please post pictures. And I would still make a home for that monster.

Okay so I went over and saw the "monster", whoa very impressive! The head segment was still very much alive and while I was looking at that part another section started wiggling away. Both interesting and terrifying at the same time.

I'm a Dean Koontz fan and seriously this had be going more than any of his novels in a long time.
Even if this had been a fictional story it would have been a great read.

I don't think I will get much sleep tonight it looks like something out of a 80s horror movie
