Black bristle worm

[BMan]

I inadvertently killed it. I put some rock rubble in the container it was in. I forgot I soaked the rock in Bayer. Oops.

Thus ends the story. Very cool but creepy animal. I wonder how big they get in the vast depths of the oceans.

Once I realized what I had done. I removed it to greasy tank water. I went out to run some errands and when I got back, all it’s flippers or feet are moving. Maybe it will bounce back. I’ll give it some time before I right it off.

Did u catch it? I have a huge black one living in in my live rock that has a bunch of my corals attached to it.. does the trap really work?
