I'm having a hard time choosing between the Bobbit Worm or Stargazer. I almost want to give it to bobbit due to it looking like something I would see in a horror movie

 

[JoJosReef]

Bobbit worm. No competition. Stuff of nightmares.

 

[stewy14]

I chose other, these all just look cool!

 

[melanie.rh937]

Bristle worms creep me out

 

[shakacuz]

in a home reef? bobbit worm.
in the actual reef? whichever i am more likely to come into contact at the beach or deep sea fishing lol

 

[JZ199]

It's a close call between the bobbit worm and spider crab!

 

[Reefer Matt]

I like them all, but wouldn’t want them in a reef tank.

This is the answer I would have, haha

I would try a giant squid in a reef tank... If they ever became a problem I would just add sperm whales. Natural solutions, I always say.

Supposedly those aren't abhorrent looking at the bottom of the ocean, but the change in pressure exploded him.

Maybe I should sign up for a beauty contest and use the blob fish excuse… see sir judge or madam judge… it’s not the extra 30 lb post babies, it’s just the pressure making me look this way.

Bristle worms creep me out

I hate them, but as long as they do NOT bother any corals I plan on putting in my pico tank, I can live with them.... since people here and at my local reef store say they are good.

 

[WestCoastReefNoob]

Definitely Bobbit. Stuff of nightmares.

 

[HairyFrog]

If you don't do your water changes, the Bobbit Worm will come for you in your sleep.

 

[ScottJ]

Bobbit worm, hands down. Their existence is strong evidence of Panspermia, in my opinion.

 

[KrisReef]

Nothing is more scary than the AEFW in a reef tank, ime.

I think the McRib is actually made from processed Blobfish?

The most terrifying thing I fear as a Reefer is those slivered onions on a Big Mac, I would rather risk Palytoxin than BigMac poisoning.

 

[JonoH]

Bobbit worm...no competition.

Actually fun fact - had one in my old reef tank - had to smash apart the rock to get it out - managed to get a video of it feeding on a pellet.



I actually broke the worm in half removing it from the rock - so here is how long half of it was....

Would have been cool for a predator tank...

 

[BristleWormHater]

None of the above!!!
How did lamprey and hagfish not make the list? (Lamprey takes the cake for me BTW, I get shivers just looking at them)
Lampreys

Hagfish
