Caught in the act!

My wife keeps a 12 gallon nano on the counter in our kitchen and is constantly finding hitchhikers late at night. She loves to shine a little flashlight in the tank after midnight and see what's in there. The usual copepods, stars, worms, etc. seem to be norm. Last night was different. She woke me up and rushed me to the kitchen so I could see her newest discovery. Wow, what a surprise! She hasn't added anything to the tank in months, yet this was her first sighting. I have no idea how long it is, since the part you see in the photo is about 10 inches long, and then it stretches toward the back of the tank and disappears under a flat rock. My guess is it's at least 20 inches or so, maybe more.

This is the best I could get at 1:00am in a hurry. It's munching on a leftover silverside that didn't get fed to the anenome or one of the other corals.

Lol---looks to me like he's doing a fine job getting those spare bits before they rot under the rockwork, which is what he should be doing.

I had 4 ten-inchers in my 54, model citizens.
