mister crabs Posted March 1, 2007 Share Posted March 1, 2007 i found a worm in some live rock i have in a tub in the garage waiting for me to finish my plumbing....it was about 3 inches long...lots of legs....body was a milky clear color but middle looked purplish blue stripe. Im guessing it was the guts i was seeing thru the body. I wanted to get a pic but my wife picked up a rock he had moved to and he crawled on her hand so she screamed and flung him to god knows where. any idea what it is by the description or a link to maybe some common worms with pics? I think it was some sort of flat worm but i hate the thought of it being a beneficial worm that went flying across the garage! thanks for your help!

oldbrownies Posted March 1, 2007 Share Posted March 1, 2007 I always scream like a little girl when worms crawl on my hand. It's rather embarassing, but thier mouths just creep me out. Land worms don't bother me though, just freakish reef worms Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frogger Posted March 4, 2007 Share Posted March 4, 2007 Thanks for the welcome CCR. I've been lurking around here for a while now. I used to get into discussions on other boards but I just don't have the time now to stay in the conversation so I rarely post now. This is really quite the community you guys have going on here. One of these days I'll have the time to get involved in the reef club and participate in the meetings. I read about them all the time and they sound really fun. Take care Mat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
