Live Rock PSA

[Sharkbait19]

Found out about this earlier today. Figured I’d pass it along:

Giant bobbit worm emerges from rock after hiding in tank for TWO YEARS

The ghastly creature is captured slithering its way between rocks and up the side of the tank in the clip, filmed in the U.S, after the man spotted it while he was cleaning the aquarium's filthy glass.

Not yet. It moved too fast. Will try some diy trap tonite.

Probably on wed will get some help to take out the rocks and search for it.

What do you consider extremely rare, I nuked a rock to get the big one, but I know there is still at least 1 in there yet. Along with another mantis

I found What may have been a 1" long baby bobbit in my tank. I removed and killed it to be safe

May have been a bristle but better safe than sorry.

Yeah may have been. It had the trade mark bristles on the head so I took no chances haha

They usually have 5 antennas on the head. Bristles are on bristle worms but better to be safe than sorry.
