Big? Yes.

Bite? No. But if it's a bristle worm, it can inflict a painful sting if you touch it.

I have some in my tank too! I had posted similar kind of questions and the replies see

I once saw 2 crawling in my LRs. They are about 6-7 cm long!

So far, it seens ok for me.

Oh ... by the way, I read that if you really want to catch it out, you can set a trap by placing food in a small piece of very fine net. The bristles of the worm will get stuck in the fine net.

They say panty hose works nicely for this purpose.

Anyone in SRC wants to donate her pantyhose?

worms are a definite no-no for me in my tank. they eat up my fishes.

If my memory serves my right, AT have quite a huge one in his tank before. You can check with him.

Generally, they are pretty shy. So sudden movement or light in the water will cause them to hide back into the LR, so stinging is quite impossible.

hi marble, if u r really keen in catching this wormy, how abt trying this trick: (i read it from some website, but loss the link...)

drill many holes into a pipe (pvc, plastic, any kind will do). The holes have to be abt the size of the worm (it would be best if u can make it slightly smaller). Put some shrimp meat into the pipe and cover the both ends. Try to place the trap near the rock where it lingers. The ojective is to allow the worm to crawl in but cannot come out. As for the drilling part, I suggest you just poke holes using a heated screw or someting that is small.

Good luck

(but for me, i prefer to leave the worm alone... unless proven guilty... )
