We tried to introduce a new fish last month that got beat up pretty bad it’s first night. We lost a different fish 2 weeks ago. Today, we found another one that was pretty injured.
A few months ago I saw what I THOUGHT was a bristle worm at 2am…. Now I’m almost entirely convinced that we’ve got a Bobbit Worm.
Currently breaking down the entire tank, quarantine fish and coral, and will be hunting through every rock and all the sand to find this pest that is hurting our livestock. Found 12 empty hermit shells in a back corner behind the rocks that further confirms my theory— especially as I only found 2 living hermits during the break down and a couple snails, when we had 20+ inverts at one point.
All I want to do now is find it and burn it to send it back from whence it came.
