I saw this creepy crawler earlier and wanted to do some research, I'll share what I found

What is it?

The bobbit worm is a type of aquatic predator worm that lurks on the ocean floor. It waits there until some type of fish stimulates one of its five antennae, immediately attacking it prey. it attacks with incredible speeds. The worm has been discovered to be omnivorous, so it not only eats meat. but loves its veggies.

It has a sharp set of teeth that are razor sharp. Sometimes its attack is so strong it has been known to slice a fish in half. watch this video to see it take down a lion fish https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3H4J5QDQeA4


How big it it?

These worms vary in size but average length is varied from being 1m (3ft 3in) to 3m (9.8ft) and being about 25mm (.98in) in diameter.

Where are they found?

They are found in warmer oceans, however there have been reports of them in aquariums by accident, here is an excerpt from Wikipedia (sorry if u dont like the wiki) In March 2009, the Blue Reef Aquarium in Newquay, Cornwall, discovered a Bobbit worm in one of their tanks. The workers had seen the devastation caused by the worm, such as fish being injured or disappearing and coral being sliced in half, but did not find it until they started taking the display apart in the tank. The worm was nicknamed "Barry"

Hope you enjoyed!
