Bobbit worm

[wooglin]

I just added this guy to my mantis predator tank. Its a Eunicid worm also known as a bobbit worm.

That's a Eunicid, all right, and a really good photo. Post that one over in the newbie forum so newbies can see what they look like v. bristleworms. You'll help some people relax about their worms!

Where'd you find him, Alan? That will be an interesting tank.

Anything or anyone with the last name of Bobbit... I'm avoiding like the plague. Unless it went in my mantis tank

It came from Emerald Bay, they found it in one of their tanks. It has been WWIII in my Mantis/Pred tank. Between the two mantis and it, all you can hear is loud pop (that shelia my large mantis), medium pop (that is Bill a hitchiker mantis that is very small), and repeat over and over and over. It would appear that the bobbit worm might not last long. ;-)

How are the two mantis' getting along together?

They do fine. I did not know there was another untill I put the bobbit worm in, and it chose the rock where the second mantis lives. It is very small, about 1/8 of an inch and very dark black. It did a number on that bobitt worm, I am not even sure if it made it thru the night.
