Leave it there :)

Still can't get an ID on it other than Eunicid worm but that covers a lot of worms. The nearest thing I can find is Bobbit worm but I haven't seen any pics of green ones.

That worm is quick! I think it may be a King Ragworm (Nereis virens) or Eulalia Worm. We know what those Bobbits can do :)

Some worms can get huge. I saw a thread on a worm that was living in the plumbing. I believe it was around 8 feet long. I think it was at some Aquarium.

I would like to see a better picture of it. I couldn't see it very well as I have bad eyes. I did see how fast it was.

smil43682208cce20.gif! Hope mine doesn't get that big. I do have a chunk missing out of some star polyps. I don't know if I should blame the urchin or the worm.

I would blame the worm.

Do keep a eye on him & your corals. I would watch him after the lights have been off for a HR or two to see what he is up to.
