a was on RC and found a thread of a guy with an 850 gallon gallon with over 1000 pounds of LR and inside the rock cam one of these suckers. it was living in the pvc pipes in which he used to supprt hi live rock structers. the only way to remove him was to take all the corals and rock out and remove the pipe quickyly. IT WAS 7 FEET WHEN E MEASURED IT !!!!!!!!!!!!!

here is a quote of what he wrote on his site
" began to notice the severe recession of soft corals like ricordea, xenia, and zoos. While this occasional recession was always present in the past, it was now getting to the point of being ridiculous. I suspected that something was feeding on these corals as they would be fine by day and gone by morning.
I staked out the tank one evening with a red lens flashlight in an attempt to catch the suspected villainous shrimp or crab. What I saw caused many sleepless nights. Through an opening in the live rock, I spied what looked like a worm with a diameter of about ??. This worm was passing through this live rock opening...and passing...and passing...and then passing some more...just how long was this thing? Suddenly, the worm stopped...and way over on the other side of the tank,"

well he got it out and his tank is looking beautifulkl now. ill put some pictures up.

If I had an 850g tank w/ half a ton of live rock, I would hope to have bristle worms that big. As well turbo snails the size of softballs. How else would you manage detritus?!
