The worm is finally toast.

kathywithbirds · 02-20-2008, 07:45 PM

I got him. Tweezed him out of the rock. In pieces. mmmmmm.

So what kinda worm is he? The rock was in the fuge like, momentarily, until I saw him. He DID have some nice shimmery metallic coloration going on, and he could stretch himself WAY out.

AQTCJAK · 02-20-2008, 08:03 PM

now you have done it you will have more now

ReefGuy69 · 02-20-2008, 08:06 PM

I would say its called "A Dead Worm" LOL

DrHank · 02-20-2008, 08:08 PM

It's a bristleworm. Don't catch with hands!

kathywithbirds · 02-20-2008, 08:16 PM

Oh, I got him all, Jack. The pieces went down the disposal, they did

Look, Doc!! No hands!!

Dentoid · 02-20-2008, 08:18 PM

What harm was it doing in your fuge that resulted in this fate?

Tru2nr · 02-20-2008, 08:26 PM

yeah bristles are usually good to have in the fuge yes?

kathywithbirds · 02-20-2008, 08:29 PM

No, it ate two fish. It was the bane of Mike's 12g until now.

Dentoid · 02-20-2008, 08:30 PM

You have fish in your fuge?

vdituri · 02-20-2008, 08:32 PM

Looks like you killed fuzzy wuzzy.
How big do you think he was?

The worm would have had to be a monster to kill fish...are youse sure that's what happened, or did you just find the worm snacking on the carcass?

kathywithbirds · 02-20-2008, 08:35 PM

No, sorry Scott. I'm skipping steps.

Mike had his 12g up for several months when we lost a clown goby, then later a baby 6-line. We finally saw this guy and he eluded us for many more months. Now Mike is taking his 12g pod down and condensing into my 75 and his 24 and he finally got that deeply-buried piece of rock outta there that was the worm's home. We spent many a late night with skewer and tweezers in hand only to just get wet.

We put some of that rock in my fuge for the 75 and saw this guy pretty fast and I pulled it to see if I could get him finally. I didn't really intend to vivisection him but my hands slipped holding the rock and out came a couple pieces off the tweezers.

YOu know, I"m wondering if there's more than one somewhere. We watched him at different times stretched out and the arm was LONG! Had to be at least 6 inches coming out of that rock. I was kinda surprised to pull out as little as I did but I'm wondering if he shrank up. The one that's in the bowl was definitely much longer before he retracted.

And the fish were teeny, Boomer. I am absolutely convinced he got the 6-line. The goby is a mystery.

Edit: I should mention that's not all of him in that pic. It's about half.
