Just a few snails that I know of. He kept trying to pile some of my loose corals in front of his burrow. But other than that I never even noticed it until a few weeks ago when I was looking In my tank one night. I thought it was a huge bristle worm at first then I did a little research & wow these things are a trip!!! Cool!! But not In my reef...

I had one that big trapped in a vase for 3 yrs multiple threads cover it lol it was horrible. I didn't want to take it all apart, so he remained. he coiled the vase 2x over and poked in and out of various rock surfaces

mmmm yes bobbit worm very dangerous, there is one other that is even more dangerous than this one the "Lorena Bobbit" worm, mmm yes indeed many deaths... many deaths.

I had a bobbit in my tank for 6 months that ate through colonies of zoas like nothing. I think I went through a depression during that time. Until I stuck a snowflake eel in the tank.....[emoji856][emoji41]

Trust me i feel your pain.. I developed a twitch in my eyelid from lack of sleep trying to ID this thing. many nights standing in front of the tank trying to catch a glimpse of this monster. Now victory is mine and me and my reef can rest peacefully

Apparently this one did not make it. Too sad. But if anybody who read this thread knows where I can get one please let me know

That is why I went with dried rocks for my current tank. Found one around 10-12" a summer or two ago in my 40B.
