:lol:
That's exactly what I thought of when I read the article. I'm such a Spongebob junkie.

What an ugly critter!

What I saw caused many sleepless nights.

I'll bet it did. Yikes!

I wonder if that could have some sort of medical use?

for example.. I have pretty much permanent pain in my back that I will live with for life-- what if a method was developed using this worms venom-- they could inject it at key points deadening nervs and causing PERMANENT pain relief

There's already Botox (from Botulinum bacteria) & Curare (from dart frogs) but I think you'll find Fentanyl patches to be a more reliable solution...

omg....that thing is wicked...I'm surprised someone at monsterfishkeepers haven't decided to build a tank for it yet.

 

[cam191919]

ugh

 

[Cheech]

no mention of how big the tank it was in, was?

 

[phi_betta_kappa]

And that thing came in on live rock....?
Rethinking SW now.......
