Worm ID

[dalston]

Found this worm by pure dumb luck and managed to pull it before it darted. Tried to get a decent pic of the head. Looks like a eunicid to me but wanted the experts advise.

Have I dodged a bullet as much as I think I have?

Better pic of the head. Almost certain it's a type of Eunice.



Creepy looking thing.

 

[Ron Reefman]

I would say you are probably right.

 

[Sugar Magnolia]

Yep, it's a Eunice.

How were you able to remove it?

 

[dalston]

Thanks for the confirmation, guys!

It was removed by mistake - albeit a happy one. Had a rock that didn't fit my scape well and removed it on a whim to bust up for fuge rubble. This guy was deep inside the rock...saw it's tail end in a piece that was going back in the display. I had no idea it was in my tank up until this point.

Whew!
Guess you lucked out. Definitely convenient it was living in a rock; especially one you were going to bust up anyway.

Shake your finger in front of its head for me, but make sure someone else is filming
