That is a huge worm, I have seen only a few inches long. This thing is massive!

I would be absolutely disgusted if that showed up in my tank. Ugh....the size of that thing...and to think that they can get to 10 feet??? I would have killed that thing with fire.

Many years ago, I removes one about half that length from my system. Yes, these are the ones you do not want in your tank.
Then can go undetected for a long time, and they live and hide in your LR, so it that is undisturbed for a long time, they can grow massive.
