Keep trying. I’m pretty sure I remember a recent thread with somebody on here taking out a rock to get one of these out and it was 6 feet long. Don’t want that in your tank.

Yup, it belonged to Atul, he has videos of it on another thread.

I am speechless.... did it kill your fishes?

Yes and ate a lot of my coral. Literally $1,000s of livestock. I was going crazy to figure out what was going on.

btw if you see weird black oval shaped balls in your tank, be suspicious of a Bobbit worm. It is their poop. My worm was over 6 feet long so it’s poop was large. But I would assume smaller worms would still have poop just smaller.
