Thanks man !

After you said Medusa Worm, then I had tried to googling. Yes, you are correct, it is Medusa Worm.

But seems it is not safe for us. Please refer to:

Anyway, thanks so much man. For more than 5 hours I try to search this creature's name, but nothing. Then you give me the name


Regards,

Reef safe critter. Only bad if threatened like most cukes will eviscerate itself as a defense mechanism. I'd leave it in.

That thing makes my skin crawl. I thought the hair worms were bad. YUK.

Did you take it out of your tank>

Hi,

Yes, I already flush it into my toilet since long time.
Someone said harmless & someone said not safe.

So I prefer not have it in my tank. Just in case....

Thanks.
