…the giant sea-worm!

Rare tropical fish were disappearing from a live-coral aquarium in Cornwall, UK. Half-assed British marine biologists were baffled and went so far as to saw up some of the coral to identify any predators. Halfway through the process the predator was revealed as a four-foot polychaete worm. Staff eventually lured it out with fish scraps, but not before it bit through 20lb fishing line.

The tropical worm is capable of inflicting permanent numbness on humans with its sting. Matt Slater, the aquarium’s curator, said: ‘Something was guzzling our reef but we had no idea what. We also found an injured Tang Fish so we laid traps but they got ripped apart in the night.

‘That worm must have obliterated the traps. The bait was full of hooks which he must have just digested.’
