hahaha, seriously. I find it really cool that cran has taken the oppurtunity to document it some more though. Can't wait to see some high resolutions shots.

I think he's settling in. I couldn't turn on the light last night without him "dancing". Gonna try a different approach.

[cranberry]

He's going in a tank with all the goodies.... just trying to get a couple of clear shots first. Don't know if that will happen.

Here is some updated info from the guy on michigan reefers.
Here are a couple of pictures. Here is the "trophy" shot. Barry with "his" worm.

This one interesting. This is a web tunnel he built. It allowed him to travel between rocks. It starts out as a web then he adds coral frags and bits to it.

Now on display at Choice Aquariums. Anyone buying, I'm sure they will let it go cheap.

Here is the scary part to me. Choice set up a 10 gallon tank for it. They thought people might want to see what it looks like. They tossed in a couple of small rocks, nothing over 3 inches. It is gone! It dug its way into one of those rocks. So a 5 foot worm can hide in a 3 inch rock. If that doesn't scare you I don't know what in this hobby will.

 

[meowzer]

YIKES
And in one of those pics he is holding it over his bare foot

 

[cranberry]

Ohhhhh... I want mine to build a coral wall with web!

 

[socalnano24]

gah thats creepy, especially the fact it hides in such small rock. Definitley investing in thick rubber gloves for next time I rearrange my rock

 

[cranberry]

He's built himself a little pile of rubble to make a nice entrance to his hole. I'm going to try and feed him in a bit.

Yay! I was gettin scared when you weren't finding anything. I was thinking omg...she's torn apart everything and still hasn't found the nasty sucker! but yay...and congrats

So I wrote that before I read the 2nd page, lol! That is soo cool that Cranberry came n picked him up n now we get to see him for a bit longer, lol! For as disgusting as that creepy crawly is he sure in interesting. I loved his lil dance he did and the music was perfect! Anyways...cool thread

 

[spanko]

Renee, new pictures?

 

[dive girl]

Yep, looking forward to the picts! I'm glad it's got a good home.

 

[cranberry]

I swear new pics will be coming soon. Couple more days of work.

 

[fishkid13]

huhmmm.....

 

[small triggers]

freaky, crazy, and personally ICKY. (though i think Cranberrys opinion would be Crazy, Sexy Cool,lol). I have an aversion(sp?) to things that look like centipedes and spiders (therefore no sally lightfoots in my tank and god forbid i get a large worm ICKKKKK)I also would call cranberry to take it home, even though i HATE stuff like that i wont kill it, well not intentionally

 

[cranberry]

On my last shift
I can see all his webbing efforts.
This thing made my skin crawl as well. Especially when it was poking it head out of the water.
