I have a 48 inch 55 gallon stony reef tank, and I've noticed that I had an Eunicid worm for sometime now. It's at least 4 feet long. I wasn't too worried at first, but lately my fish are all huddled up on the left front of my tank at night where only my clowns "slept". One of my chromis looks likes it's been in a fight. Tonight I noticed the worm (located deep inside a bottom rock on the right side) slithering all the way toward the left side (behind & underneath the rock of course!) where my fish are. I can't take the rocks apart due to a clam, & stony corals that are on the rocks above. Do you have any suggestions on how I can catch, kill, eliminate this creature?
A four footer! I've never caught one and I don't know how big in diameter it is but maybe you could make a 2 or 3 liter bottle into a trap, bait it with something and stick it in the tank at night. You might have to construct a lobster trap type opening to keep it in the bottle.
What's the going rate for a 1 of a kind FOUR FOOT (STRETCHED) EUNICID WORM! It has more poison quills than Medusa herself! From Fiji. No feeding necessary (self feeding!)! She writhes like a snake, and is as quick as M. Vick Losing 105 million.
3 hours of "cat & mouse" (more like Sigourney weaver & Alien)
seriously, I lost 2 corals, 30 strands of hair...............I picked up the rock that she was in; I watched it the entire time, I dropped it in the prepared bucket, raised salinity, watched 30 minutes. nuthin'. I picked up the rock below that was below it , there she was! i dropped it in the bucket; nuthin'! I watched the rock the whole 12 inches to the top of the tank because I was afraid of getting stung or bitten! I mean it's 4 feet long! Not there..........I look at the tank; I look at the rock; I turn & turn....................nope...........can't find it. I get down on the ground & point my trusty flashlight up at the bottom of the roof at one of my caves, & "low & behold".............it's the alien creature slithering on the "ceiling" all looking like a boa constrictor. I pick up that rock...........it makes a run for it on the sand......I take my tongs & yang it up............it starts wrapping & contorting up the freakin' tongs toward my hand. I rip it out of the tang & drop it. It lands 1/2 on the floor & 1/2 in the bucket. I yank the other 1/2 in............& I'm tired & what a freakin' mess I have.
Oh man! I have one of those nasties in my sump. Much smaller though. Just knowing the size of jaws that thing has creeps me out. Nice snag. The fish are probably happier now
So I was harvesting my caulpera in my fuge/sump & cleaning my skimmer..............Finished.........turn sump on, & WHAMM! CLUNK! OUT OF MY SKIMMER COMES THE FRONT 1/2 OF THAT FREAKIN' WORM LIKE AT "BAT OUT OF HELL" DIRECTLY INTO MY FUGE & WEDGES ITSELF IN THE LIVE ROCK! (minus an inch that just got chewed off) I'm glad my hand was only in there for 30 minutes!
Ralph!
Well, after my godchild's graduation at UGA, (very nice, by the way), I came home and now I got the warm just chillin' ..............................in my freezer. It's only about 1 foot of the front left, maybe 1 1/2 foot stretched. See ya!
