Aquatic Tech's Sea Beast

[Morgandy]

Josh, your PM box full..so here is one of the pics I got. Will post more later.

All, Josh (scottfarcuz) pulled this lovely 3 ft beauty out of one of Aqua Tech's tanks the other day. He's their new mascot, afforded his own tank even. They're looking for ID on it. I'll try to post more tonight. It did 'eject' some of its segments, so not the 3+ ft it was when he first nabbed it.

Not sure why I can't get the pic to show, just the link..I've done this a million times. Neither the img or the http tags are working.

Did you say the worm's name is Josh?

hmmm, now I thought they were saying that Josh was the official new mascot.

Thanks Amy!
If you get a chance I would love to see the other pics. I've tossed one of everything in the store in the tank with him to try to get him to eat.

I've tried to convince Greg he only eats tri-color acros, and aussie acans :lol:

The worm is living in a pc of 2" PVC about a foot long. Its a LOT of fun to watch customers stare into the seabeast labeled tank, and then walk over and dump the PVC to watch a 3ft+ worm come out.

I was planning to chase you out of the store with it the other day, but now I'm thinking I will drop it in your tank next time I'm over.

Hey!

Is it really over 3ft. in length or did I misunderstand it.

 

[Kreeger1]

Yes, you read it right

Here are some more shots, it was really hard to shoot, but, I do have some video I'll try to upload later of it. I believe Greg said he was gonna put a santa cap on it and the kids could sit on it's lap; I may have to mute the video with all that was said! But, it will show how it walks on centipede like legs and such. Eww, this thing is just nasty!

They can call him what they want, I've name him Dubbya.

I'd like to know. I know its in the eunicid family, but there are over 200 different ones. I PMed RC's worm expert LeslieH asking for input on the other thread.

IMO he has to be a coral eater. There were never many fish in the tank. I've hauled a few frags in from my tank to see if he will go for them.
