I haven't broken down the tank yet. I am trying to figure out where he is. I have only seen two burrows, but they are in different spots. I have done some reading and not sure if he is in a rock or the sand, most say rock and a couple say sand? It gets confusing. These guys are hard to find, I have only seen him twice and he must have been in there a long time. I can't even find him with a red light at night. I'm figuring that the original spot that I saw him is probably home and I will work my way towards that spot, but I don't want to ruin a lot of rock in the process.

People, it’s just a worm... keep it in the tank and feed it. It’s not that serious..

I’m just teasing, but the screw worm is a miniature terror and very real.

I got him today, he is resting in the front yard. He was down in the sand bed the whole time I was pulling rock. I think the thoughts going through my head were worse than actually doing the job. I pulled all of the rock inspecting each piece, most is sitting in the driveway freaking the neighbors out. I got all of the corals, fish and hopefully most of the snails out. I am going to start with a new tank set up, I am going to double check everything and re-dip the corals. It took the entire day just to break the tank down. For anyone looking to do this, don’t listen to all of the horror stories!

Show us the tank when rearranged!. On the other hand I feel sad for him. Poor little fellahHe looks to be about 12” in the yard, who knows when he was stretched out. Nobody seemed to have wanted him around here!

Sorry for the bad camera work. I just found this in my tank. The part I could see was easily 2 feet long. I saw it one one side of my tank and then 10 mins later on the other side. Not sure which rock to pull except all of them.
Anybody been able to catch something this long with the pantyhose method?
Any other suggestions?

That’s good camera work. Definitely a bobbit. Has it eaten anything of value? Can you see where it’s lair is? Theres a chance it’s in the sand underneath and not in any particular rock. It’s too big for a bottle trap for sure.Sorry for the bad camera work. I just found this in my tank. The part I could see was easily 2 feet long.
