Nice! How did you catch it? Is that not all of it? If not the pieces left may regenerate.

Yes definitely not all of it and positive it'll regenerate. The head is still in there. I have a bare bottom tank and I say its tube so I grabbed it. Like others have said, they are fast so if it's one to be concerned about, rock work will have to come down to get it.

lol I made a big change on mine. I manually removed a lot then used a 5w laser to burn the rest ;) It seems to be working .

I have way too many to even imagine how long that'll take. Coral are growing so ain't no going backwards if I can avoid it. Have had my live rock for almost 5 years I'd say. I know I can nuke the rock, but not worth it, lol.

Yes they have a tank for them. There are people like me that like to keep the weird and creepy stuff.

I used to keep a Eunice Worm named The Creep. He was so cool. I would put things in his tank and he would attach them to his rock. He would eat or tear up just about anything. He liked shredding macro algae a lot.

I have several cool videos of him eating on IG.

Glad you got him!

So am I bro. I have been having zoas disappear and snails and at first was chalking it up to things do die, but once I realized that I had a eunicid worm and saw that it had spun it web to a pathway to a zoa colony that I had (glad it wasn't some of my higher end zoas but I think it may have much on one of my recent high end zoa frags) enough was enough.

Not going to wait anything out again in the future once I realize that I have something in my tank that I can get out of it; even if it requires tearing down the tank to trap it.
