Tremors Worm

The creature for this instalment is one called eunice aphroditois, or better known as the Bobbit worm, taking the name from the Bobbit couple where the wife (Lorena Bobbit) sliced off her husband's penis (John Bobbit). The bobbit worm makes its home in the beds of the ocean in the sediment, mud and corals.

It waits patiently in the pose from the figure above until a stimulus reaches one of its five antennae then attacking whatever it seems to have set it off. It has been known to attack at such speeds where it has sliced its prey in half. The bobbit worm is an incredibly voracious predator and is one animal that is not a good fit for any aquarium, as it will try to eat everything in the tank. One was discovered in a habitat at  the Blue Reef Aquarium in England. Workers were noticing that fish had disappeared or were injured and that parts of their coral reef was being sliced in half. They took the tank apart and found a 5 foot long bobbit worm, and believed that it had gotten into the exhibit when they had gotten bits of coral to put into the tank, and the worm was hiding in it when it was much smaller.
