Definitely not reef safe or humans for that matter.

That's just nuts! I like that they named him Barry...

[dougers31]

Just plain nasty!!! :barf:

[mnpilot]

Now that would be an unwanted hitchhiker :mad_3::mad_3::mad_3:

[NAL]

I would eat it personally. :beerchug: (with some beer of course)

[CMBECKER]

Just like the worm from oregonreef.com!

[insacron]

Just like the worm from oregonreef.com!

Except this one is smaller... and still four feet long...

[kjdeut]

Just imagine being in the tank cleaning it and seeing that thing staring you in the face.

That thing is absolutely horrific. "His" new display must be the most frightening system at the aquarium.

[lizmomdad]

yowsa, nasty

[TriggerFreak]

well, that article got everyones interest, but yea, that is gross, thankfully no people got stung by it!!

[this1fish]

that would make one really big texas rig to go fishing!

[Bubbles]

I bet he tastes like chicken.

Fire up the grill.

[reeferbeefer]

:nuts:Imagine getting THAT on a hook?

[Chad Vossen]

Just like the worm from oregonreef.com!

yeah, what i was thinking too. steve's worm was much more impressive.

[PaulTushaus]

that is super nasty and totally awesome at the same time! talk about a tank nightmare... Also checked out the worm incident on oregonreef.com I agree he has Barry beat, but those close ups of Barry are like something out of a horror movie.

[Luna81]

Okay, that's kind of terrifying. Don't know how I'll sleep tonight.

[grayworg]

I'd like to see that and a mantis shrimp go at it... but yuck that is a disgusting worm.

[wes]

yeah, what i was thinking too. steve's worm was much more impressive.

yeah, wasn't that thing like 8 feet long? This guy will keep growing, though, since they're keeping him around. ewwwwwwwwww, YUCK!

[REEFSTOCK]

I don't like barry... nope not at all!

[lottie_pufferfish]

THAT is so cool! i think its sweet. im glad they kept it.

[Flounder]

Nasty

[kmjoen230]

the close ups are unmatched!
The one from oregonreef.com is horrendous no doubt but the fact that they are keeping it and have these sweet shots of it are crazy!

[Joseph Freshwater]

Are there story's of anything dangerous to hobbyists hiking in on live rock to smaller aquariums ? kind of interesting

[yslexdia]

I saw this a few months back. :(

*shudder*

[pmnovak1]

Just glad it didn't come up through someone's toilet

[acharpenter]

I saw this a few months back. :(

*shudder*

+1 - but its like a train wreck, horrible but cant stop watching. I actually went back and read the whole article again :barf:

BTW - does anyone know what size tank they found it in? Cant seem to find that anywhere

[sway]

Ick.. I had nightmares about the 5" one in my tank.... can't even imagine if I found one that big!

i did some searching while taking a break from moving to my new basement apartment "more room for my tanks" :). I was interested in the tank size and the size of the new display they moved him into. After about eight articles i couldn't find out the size of the tank. I did however track down the contact for the aquarium over in the uk. I sent them a email asking so we will know soon.

[moreje]
