BUW!

Big Ugly Worm

Found this a couple weeks ago. Apparently they can get 7 feet long and eat everything in your tank, or simply eat garbage and go unnoticed for years. I am betting that I have another one somethere in the tank.

Another BUW sighting confirmed. There is one in my refugium (in the stand, underneath the main tank). This one has a little hole with a trap door. The worm pulls this little pebble in front of the hole to block the enterance.
