Eucinid Worm

[GEE5]

I am looking for some advice. I have a Eucinid worm who is now about 3 feet in a 50 gallon reef tank. In the past I have caught him chomping on LPS and some polyps. I have been target feeding the worm with sinking pellets and it has accordingly stopped eating any of my corals. This worm is extremely interesting and has dug tunnels throughout my tank. Like an ant farm. Extremely active and always comes out for feeding. Impossible to get out of my tank. Very smart.

The question is should I keep feeding it pellets and it keeps getting larger or stop feeding it and it may chomp on my corals or attack my invertebrates also but probably stop growing so fast.

thanks

put a trap in there, do a search at RF on worm traps and get that sucker out of there, good luck

I would keep feeding him and keep him as a pet, as long as he doesn't eat of the coral. I am sure a eucinid worm can comfortably live in a 50g tank up to a size much larger than 3ft.
