Now why would you want to pull out all these rocks with gorgeous, encrusted colonies? This may give me nightmares…

One can only hope to never find something like this in their tank. The unfortunate reality is, you may already have one

I had one of those guys a few years back. Scared the crap outta me when I first saw it. It ate through an expensive patch of zoas. It ended up in the septic tank.

@jeff, Terrible thing is I bet if I caught one I’d put it in the sump. I find it terribly hard to flush crabs, shrimps, anything. Illogical and sometimes damaging sentimentality!

Normally I may agree, but I have a suspicion that I would feel differently about crabs and shrimp than were I to find a 4′ worm in my tank!

I’ve just finished (I hope) battling mice with traps, brodifacoum, a bb gun and my foot. This is unimaginable horror.
I’m thinking of setting up a nano reef…at least, there’d be no place for it to hide.
