WORMS!!!

[Feeshrfriendsnotfood]

So I’d been noticing a set of antennas poking out of the back of my rock work at night, well it finally poked out far enough for me to see more than just the antenna and well... I’m really hoping I’m just paranoid and it’s something harmless and not a baby Bobbit worm. I know that the pic isn’t very high quality I’ll try and snag another if he pokes out again. This is just the first I ever saw it in the daylight.

Bobbits typically have 5 antenna. Hard to tell from your pic, but that's a hint for you

Thanks and I’m pretty sure it only had 4 so that’s good news. I’ll be on worm watch tonight now to be sure lol.

If it has 4, you might not see the 5th without close examination.
As soon as I read 4, I said "uh oh"...

So update. It WAS a Eunice worm I was cleaning the sand and it comes flying out like I stabbed him in the bum. It broke in two in the net, and I decided to keep the head portion in my mangrove tank which only has some hitchhiking stars (and the beginning of a nasty algae bloom) the other part I left in the sun to finish it off. hopefully that was the only one but I’m pretty sure I have another in here.
