    Jeez sorry to hear that. Hopefully that's not my case at all and it's just a pesty lol worm that I removed before it could be a problem. Just hope there aren't others in the coral itself

    So THATS what happened. Bobbits are not to be fooled with. They get as big around as a coffee mug in the wild. I'm sorry to hear about your tank. :( I agree with your "kill every worm with napalm" mentality, though.

    Oh no worries, I do miss my helfrichi that he ate, andsome of my clams. Pretty much replaced all the zoas though.

    Its just not worth messing around with. I saw a fuzzy white starfish the other day and I want to kill it too.

    I saw it eating them at night. The worm made all these wax like tunnels that went from coral to coral and feather dusters.

    Yeah i share the nuke worms mentality as well. I have had issues with pests in the past so this go around if i see it and it looks nuisancy, i will either grab it, or pull the rock and nuke it. I'm not messing around with my livestock.
