Here’s another one. There must be a decent amount in there as I have seen 3 different ones now. This one is much smaller.
interesting little animals. Hopefully nothing eats em!

They eat fish unless you don’t have anything too small should be ok? The can get massive 5 feet long +

I had a clown I was “nursing” back to health in one of my sumps that has about an 8” sand bed. I was under the impression nothing was in there with the clown. I came home about a week later to the clown barely alive and ripped to pieces. Of course there is no way to know for sure but I bet it was one of those bobbit worms after watching that scary video lol.

I pulled the thing as it was flying all over the tank again. It’s a pretty neat creature, it eats a lot of hair algae.
I don’t really know what to do with it. Can anyone tell me if it is safe for the tank? It is a medusa worm. There are baby ones in the tank.
