Nightmarish Sea Worm Infested Aquarium Secretly For Years
SURREY, UK – A three-foot long fish-eating Bobbit worm (Eunice aphroditois), with razor-sharp teeth was discovered at Maidenhead Aquatics store in Surrey, UK. The creature was located by accident when a 200 gallon tank was emptied last week.
The worm has jaws twice the width of its body and was found underneath the last rock lifted from the aquarium. The owner and the staff were completely surprised and said that the store would keep it.
Unfortunately when they removed it from the tank it ripped into three sections, but that’s no problem. Why?
Two of those sections lived… and one of them is starting to react to shrimp in the tank.
The worms have reportedly begun to spin a mucous web around themselves in preparation for their next terrifying form. The teeth of the Bobbit worm are so sharp they are known to slice their prey in half before eating them.
Here’s some clips of the predator worm in action.
