My bristle worm is bigger than yours

[mdpitts]

I knew I had a bristleworm that came home with my very first coral frag but I thought it also died in the cave collapse with Detroit Pistol and Grumpy Gordon (may they excavate in eternal peace) because I found a dead one when sifting the sand bed for the shrimp. But, peering into my tank before lights out last night I saw a 5 incher on the other side and then spotted this beast. Holy Smokes!! It just keeps coming. If you look closely you can see the back of it on a rock behind the one the front end is on. I read up on them last night on here but they still give me big time creeps. I thought these stayed fairly short? Hopefully my video uploaded…

Edit - I don’t know if watching that video on YouTube will be irritating or not because it doesn’t look very clear and my blue lights appear Marianna Trench dark. I don’t know how to do fix/edit videos. This could be a non-event post

How much food does a giant bristleworm need?

I've been trying to dial in a Plank auto-feeder so my fish get fed multiple times a day, and I didn't realize at first that I was putting too many sinking pellets (for a decorator crab) in there until I saw the enormous bristleworm I'd inadvertently created, living under the feeder. I redid my...

Ewwww, yeah, ours could be brothers . I had no idea there were so many hiding places in the rock until I watched it for a while.

I am not planning on killing it unless its doing damage to the tank - everything deserves to live it's life in my book. But if it screws up - then I'm gonna get it. I'm horrified/fascinated by it and peek in with a flashlight every night now. I hate it but can't stop looking at it.
