I know that there was a thread on this guy at one time,but I can't find much info on it.I do know that his daddy (RIP) WAS 2' long and ate about $600 in zoas before I found him.

I had one I think it is called a eunicid worm( dont shoot me for bad spelling ) Mine munched on ricordias and zoas and with a vengeance. I was wondering why my zoas and rics were looking so bad and just happened to catch him in the act. They get massive from what i understand, multiple feet long. Good thing you caught it now.
for sure.. I also had one of those on my old 55g.. it's funny coz it was always aiming for the expensive morphs.. 
great catch Randy..
great catch Randy..
My son was cleaning the tank and picked up a rock to move it and it crawled out of a hole in the rock. He sounded like a girl when he pulled the rock out and dropped it in front of the tank. I don't blame him I do not want to touch that thing myself.

dang, lucky catch!! you had no clue about it until then?
I think that is all. Just like the last one we got it would make a home with all the rock and discs that my zoas was on. I think they came in on some Tonga rock last year and grew into what they are now. I am starting to catch on that if you see your disks moved and some zoas are missing on them that there is a good chance you have them. I knew he was there but could not find him till today.
I guess I could try the bottle trick and bait it with some Pyros. It seems to like the same ones I do. They have not killed brown zoa yet.

I pulled one out of my tank two weekends ago as well. Mine wasnt nearly as bad as yours mine was only roughly 15 inches long and about a half inch wide.
I lost two clams dont know if I can blame it on him or not since I never saw him go after it. I lost a colony of Armor of Gods but was capable of restocking them from my frag tank. I never saw my guy go after anything so I cant really blame it on him but when i saw him I knew I had to get him out b/c i had remembered seeing the piece on them on Steve Weasts tank that bad boy was over 7 feet long.
I tried to bait him with food out but he never came for it so I had to tear down half my tank b/c he of course was in the bottom rock

With the 1st one I found he ate 3 ORA clams in 5 day but never seen him do it but as soon as he was gone I did not have any more die.He would leave nothing but the shell.

they must have a natural predator in the wild to prevent them from getting THAT big and that aggressive towards reef dwelling animals.
