OR (This is what I think)

Phylum: Annelida
Class: Polychaeta

Going past that would be difficult. Kill it with fire.

It's gone. I can't post the final image here, I'll have to start another thread.

I would cure all that rock. Wouldn't run any risk of moving that beast to a brand new tank.

 

[rk4435]

Sadly Kirkwood, some rock from that tank had already been moved to the new tank before the worm made itself known. The particular piece of rock involved was also the home to a Mantis Shrimp that we believe took out some livestock a few months ago. It may be time to perform an exorcism on that one.

While I am usually and advocate for the lowly worm, I concur that it was a Eunicid and it was good to get rid of it.

I remember when Steve posted about this on TRT back when it happened. I thought he was exaggerating... until I saw the pictures!

[joseayes]

Gosh! Those worms are gross! And expensive to feed! Please let me know if you realize the exorcism I want to be a witness!
