Hi guys,

I got quite a shock when I saw something wriggling in my sump, at first I thought somehow an eel had gotten there but instead it was a bristleworm, and it's about 2ft in length!!!!

yes 2 FEET... not to sure what to do with it and I don't quite dare to grab it, just looking at it makes the hairs on the back of my neck stand!

How?? I can't just leave it there right?

Here is the monster... you can see it curls up all the way to the back (can't get a good shot)...

How I know it's about 2ft long? Coz it stretched itself across the width of my sump which was 1.5ft long and it still had some of it's tail curled up!!

How how? I'm not a fan of killing anything... should I just throw it in my fuge? Will it kill my bristlestar inside?

wah quite a monster !! since it is in the sump then just leave it, cant do much damage there... ;)

i have one about 4-5" but since most of the pple think that they actually do more good than harm, so i decided to leave it, although must admit does look ugly n creepy :sick:
