I dont know if many knows what kind of madness i've been going through with my (first) marine aquarium but i have been dealing with lots of ... how can i put this.... "1 chances in a gazillion" that i have a pest that, should not if rarely be found in live rocks.... a bobbit worm.
My Original thread is here: http://www.reefsanctuary.com/forum/index.php?threads/weird-worm.92966/page-3
page 3 covers the success and pics.
I just, found, a 2nd bobbit worm. yes folks thats correct.. A 2ND ONE!
the only way i was able to spot them is by checking my aquarium randomly at night using a red light. Before, i was using a reg light but they are so fast that i never saw them (or it at the time). Also, i had a nice stone crab grow to the size of a toonie (for US folks about 2inc diam) before i was able to spot it, using a red flash light.
PROTIP: check your aquarium at night randomly with a red light to find things, you probably missed. I know i did.. it's been a year and a half and i just found a bobbit. lol
