[Euphrate]

Hello,
I've buy a bunch of LR yesterday and wondered who are them?
They don't like the light and seems to live in a hole.. Pls tell me it's not one of those worms i saw in Blue Planet
Have a nice day!
Thanks in advance!

Ok so saw him/her in the night, it's definitely a worm living in a hole and letting hang its body in the flow to catch anything alive -_-'
It's the first time i don't use dry rock. I know why i prefered them now

Where did you get your LR? I’ve had nothing but good experiences with LR…

 

[MoshJosh]

Some people. . . Crazy people. . . Would pay good money for those worms!

I had it from my LFS who has a pretty good reputation, and the LR are from Indonesian cultures.They are indeed full of sponges, asterinas and amphipods. But for the very few i've buy i feel very unlucky.

Who are they, WHERE are they? If they're in Paris, let's start the auction!

I would recommend pulling the rock if you can and then find a way to get it out of the rock in an isolated environment.

Ok, catcha! Was pretty easy, he was out of the rock, and quite slow, i guess he was looking for food as my tank is totally empty. So we agree it was a bobbit? Or is it an innocent worm that i should let in the tank?

 

[TnFishwater98]

Looks like you didn’t get all of it huh? I can’t identify that as a Bobbit or not. I would like to hear from the worm experts…

Soooo def not a bobbit! But a scale one! Dang, i feel bad, i don't want to kill him but also he seems pretty hungry of anything alive.

Is that what you think it looks like? Best to remove, IMO. Just wondering if you got it all? If you didn’t get all of it, I believe a majority of worms cut in half turns into 2 worms. I could be wrong.

After what i've read i even got his scientific name : Harmothoe imbricata . Those ones are relatively short and slow, he was peacefully walking when i get him, i guess the days before he was only hidding, then today he decided to go for a hunt : bad choice sir!
Yeah i'm gonna kill him. I'm just sad because he never decided to move from Indonesia to France lol.

You could keep him in a tiny species only tank. He looks pretty cool

Actually it's already a bowl lol. I'm running a 3.5 gallons bowl as i'm not sure i have the time enough for a bigger reef.
I didn't kill him, i may put him in my office tank with only daylight and a mangrove tree as they don't need heater (it can apparently being find even on French West coast), he's more cute than the Bobbit!
