Bristle worm or Fire worm?

Not trying to be picky here... but for the benefit of anyone trying to google said worm... it's "Eunicid"
Eunice is a woman's name
I'm just sayin'...
The best example I've ever seen is the one that Son of Adam posted. I remember when Steve Weast posted about that in another forum, and when he said "6' Worm" in his thread title, I though he was exaggerating!
I've seen one or two of those over the years, but they are rare. Most of the worms in our tanks are beneficial.

He may not be the most suitable for your tank in the long term. We had a red volitan that was probably a foot long (in the 1000 tank we used to have).
If you only give him half a cube... but feed him til his sides are stretched... is the cube that big? Or does he gorge himself on the other fishes' food?
What is in the cube? Usually once thawed, frozen food breaks apart unless it's individually frozen pieces of crustacean flesh or fish.
Just trying to get a sense of what he's eating, since clearly he's still hungry if he's hoovering up everybody else's stuff, necessitating possible over-feeding of the rest of the tank.

It's the size of a regular little frozen cube... it breaks up into little shrimp-like things, which I drop in individually so he gets it all. I guess I'll try and up the amount 
I know he'll need a bigger tank eventually, but I was hoping the current one would last me at least a year.

It might be worth trying a chunkier food for him - or better still, a variety of chunkier foods. If he's got something solid in him like krill, clam, silverside etc., it might hold him longer. Then the other fishes will stand more of a chance with the smaller stuff.
They do grow quickly when well fed - that's just the nature of the fish.
Lots of lions don't adapt so quickly to prepared foods, so you're ahead of the game if he's a pig
