I was planning on picking up the Tomini Tang today, but with what happened with the YWG, are the Tangs, specifically the Tomini, jumpers?

Never had a tang jump, but looked back at one of my fish stocking spreadsheets and remembered this guy (no idea why I keep spreadsheets for everything):
That tank was covered with acrylic lids and a canopy that just had finger holes in the lid to remove it and that goby and the Orange Stripe I replaced it with found those holes and jumped, only 2 losses from jumping that I have recorded.
I miss that tank.
wow! that is a nice tank! what happened to it?

We moved and sold it, really wish I had just put it in storage. It was an upgrade from a 155g bowfront (never get a tank with a curve) and ran from 2011 to 2015. A dealer bought all the livestock and we had to break a bunch of coral apart to fit through the access holes in the top.
Can see the cyano before the tear down, it had been neglected a bit since we were in the middle of the move.
Was it swollen up on the end like this when you pulled it out? I ask because I'm not familiar with a worm that has such a drastically different end like this, but the rounded head like that tells me it's either a Lumbrinerid or Oenonid worm - either way, you probably don't want to keep it:
For Oenonid worms:
For Lumbrinerid worms:
"most lumbrinerids are carnivores on both sessile and motile prey, with a few herbivorous and subsurface deposit-feeding exceptions"*
The carnivorous ones tend to eat things like bivalves, snails, other worms, brittle starfish, and occasionally Heart Urchins (Spatangoida). The herbivorous ones feed on diatoms, sea grass, etc.
