Daamnnn lol

 

Yeah, that's what I said. Those were both in a 38 gallon tank.

 

I would love to introduce you to The Congressman (so named because what else would you name a 6" long worm with gray hairs that stings the hell out of you). I actually yelled "What the hell is that?!" the first time I saw him.



A few months later:



He was completely harmless and a wonderful addition to have in the tank.
He actually shared a cave with a tiny little blenny. They get a bad rap because they are usually found eating dead fish, but they are scavengers. We guess that before we broke the tank down and sold off the pieces he was about nine inches long.

We had an arrow crab for a bit and the two of them would chase each other around the tank. The crab had no idea how to eat this massive worm and the worm always wanted a piece of whatever the crab had found to eat.
