The ocean can be the most beautiful thing that your eyes have ever seen...But it also can be the most terrifying...Don't go looking for these creepy creatures...

Supposedly those aren't abhorrent looking at the bottom of the ocean, but the change in pressure exploded him.
Maybe I should sign up for a beauty contest and use the blob fish excuse… see sir judge or madam judge… it’s not the extra 30 lb post babies, it’s just the pressure making me look this way.

Bristle worms creep me out:confounded-face:
I hate them, but as long as they do NOT bother any corals I plan on putting in my pico tank, I can live with them.... since people here and at my local reef store say they are good.

Nothing is more scary than the AEFW in a reef tank, ime.

I think the McRib is actually made from processed Blobfish?

The most terrifying thing I fear as a Reefer is those slivered onions on a Big Mac, I would rather risk Palytoxin than BigMac poisoning.

Bobbit worm...no competition.

Actually fun fact - had one in my old reef tank - had to smash apart the rock to get it out - managed to get a video of it feeding on a pellet.



I actually broke the worm in half removing it from the rock - so here is how long half of it was....

Would have been cool for a predator tank...
