[PIMPALA]

they can get about the size of an average dinner plate, and consume shrimp.

and by dinner plate, i mean about a barbie size dinner plate. and by shrimp, i mean baby brine shrimp.

I've got them too. Do they develop any color, or always stay white?

Some have brown bands, or minor color markings. Just financial image search on Google for feather dusted worm.

I have some that are bout 1" in diameter. It just appeared one day or I noticed it and I have been watching it grow from there. Can't say how big before it stops growing but I have seen grwth over the last 6 months. It started about 1/4th the size.

As long as they are NOT the ones that make long paperous tubes 5 miles long, nice!! I want a thousand of the ones that stay put and dont make big long tubes.
