NICE! @Wiz

Thats a eunice worm. They are a predator. If you do not wish to keep it i have alerted Wiz as he would probably be interested. And......

Is that a Bobbit worm? (I'm not sure but it looks similar to some pics) following along to see what ya got there. Odd creature to say the least.

 

[stevo01]

Please keep it alive until he can respond.

[stevo01]

I believe daisy to be more specific.

 

[stevo01]

[Rusty Shackleford]

bristle star of some sort....i had a Eunice worm or bobbit worm ..... rented out a star polyp colony and began eating any coral around it....every night colony's went missing.....finally saw his little bobbit or hobbit hole and took action with freshwater dipping the whole rock and the remaining dead star polyps....he was a monster....pics from a while back in my old 4 ft
