This is a video off my third worm I found in my 1800l reef tank. This was the smalestThey eat EVERYTHING, fish, sps, shroms.
The biggest fish they tried was a full grown black clownfish, who later died from the mucus the worm uses to take its pray.
These worm are hard to find, even this big. They only come out after the ligh has been off for many hours.

I've removed three from my DT. My wife insisted we had five, but neither of us has seen one since I got three of them out so we hope we are good :) I'm not tearing anything apart to find them either, but when crabs and others gave input it was time for some worm hunting!

Careful!!! I tried tongs, took off the head, and THEN was informed it would just regrow!! Sure enough!! I was lucky and moved the rock, but I had a headless worm for bit! It still moved around just fine!!

ewww. Now I feel like my wife and can understand why she is creeped out even by cool worms, lol.
