Crap!!
I think I might have one of those in my tank!!! aswell
seen something quite strange few night ago.....which looked like a
snake......
now you got me thinking

[salvini55]

well the sad part is the head is still in the tank.... I hope something kills it or it dies!

You gonna use that bowl for cereal again? I assume your GF didn't see you put the worm in there.

[salvini55]

mmmmmmmmmm, now that you mention it i could go for a bowl of worm-O's. Ya she did see it, cuz I forgot about it in the kitchen when she was doing dishes... She wasnt too happy about it. I was busy celebrating to "eye of the tiger"... its the thrill of the fight... now its stuck in my head again! lol

that looks like a giant size (fireworm). I have a pile of em in my tank, i can see them in the substrateagainst the glass, and i can see them crawling around in my tank sometimes. The length of them is about the width of a keyboard key

It looks like a brisleworm because the head was ripped off in the process. The only diff in the look of the two is the head. There is still a bobbit head in the tank....  There are also brisleworms in there but they are friendly so they are alowed to stay.

The frequency of these stories (and the terrifying links of even larger worms) has made me question ever starting a salt water tank!

[salvini55]

its worth it! i dont even look at my salvini tank anymore... sad really

Me and you are probably not the only ones stuck with their freshwater handles while heavily into salt.
