Default Aquarists Discover 4-foot Worm

Frigging unbelievable.

Quote:
Aquarists at the Blue Reef Aquarium in Newquay have discovered the identity of a mysterious killer that had been devastating their coral reef display over recent months.



Staff at the award-winning attraction had been puzzled by violent attacks on their fragile living reefs - in some cases the corals had been literally cut in half.

Not only is it big and gross, but sounds vicious too! Bit through 20 lb fishing line? This is one of many reasons I couldn't be a marine biologist. I get shivers just thinking about approaching this beast.
