catch of the day!!!!

[mshur]

I got with a bag of frsh clams to feed my fishand try to catch my interuptus angel since he start nipping on my sps corals..yes, after two years

i wash out this clam and place it the fish trap.After 2-3 min i saw something crowling from the rock (not a new rock,my old rock).Looking like a mantis shrimp..but not..It was this monster:

when i saw his head i almost scream...i called my daugther to see this thing..
well..how can i take him out..i took some corals out and had to take this big piece of rock together with this worm..of cause my tank looks like a mess,but i had no choice.. this thing is about 2' long..ugly as hell...god knows how long he been living in my tank or maybe i introduce him with a new rock or reef ceramics

) but he was sitting in my old,old piece of rock..go figure...
Every day is something

That's a good photo to reinforce always wearing gloves in the water. As I drilled into my daughter, there's nothing in there that can't hurt you or kill you. I'm skipping the side order of sausage with breakfast this morning...............

 

[scarf_ace1981]

gloves are for girly men

i saw this thread last night and it made me think. what if i have some of these. they can go for long periods of time w/o being seen or even being suspected

 

[nyfireman3097]

I remember a thread on a diffrent board of a guy that had one bigger then this it was living in his PVC rock stucture. He never added any new rock for it to come on so his thoughts were that it grew that bug in his tank from a baby worm which is very possible

 

[jhale]

that was steve weast, his was about 7' long I think.
shauns worm was 3' or more when he found it.
creepy.
