I bet my worm is bigger than yours!

[budsreef]

Eunicid that is! I spent the whole day today replacing the sump for my frag tank from a 20L to a 29G. Earlier this afternoon when I was removing the rock I had this guy run over my hand. I tried to grab it before it went back under the rock but it just let the end I had ahold of go. Luckily, I was wearing gloves but I still let out a scream. This is in the bottom of a 18G Rubbermaid tub and I estimate it to be 26-32 inches.

Nope, both pieces are in the tub waiting for final disposition!

I can't believe I never even had a glimpse of this thing till today. That sump was set up 6 months ago and none of the pieces of rock were big enough for it to hide in as big as it is so it must have grown a whole bunch in a short period of time.

[schwaggs]

Ha! I put it in my QT and will bring it to the meeting Tuesday if it is still alive!

What?!? Jen LOVES when I do little things like that to show her that I was thinking about her!!!

Brandon is going to be pretty out of it during the frag meet. Offer him a drink at some point during the night (he'll be thirsty and won't even think about it). Hide the worm in the drink. Turn on the video cameras, GAME ON!

uhhh, did that come out of the same tank you had me stick my hand in to hook up the top off????? D'oh!!!! I don't think I'll be helping you any time soon. I thought you were exaggerating when you told me how big that dang thing was... holy crap.

[washowi]

Yeah want to bet!! I thought this thing was an eel or a snake when I caught him at 2 in the morning.

:yuk: I just pulled the same thing out of my nano this weekend. The tank has been set up for at least a year now and I can't believe I never saw this guy!!! Got him out and flushed him immediately!!!

These things are almost worth keeping in a theme tank.
