OK. it has been over 4 years since this Oenone fulgida has reared it's ugly head I finally caught it tonight.
It has been working on one of my candy cane colonies. The colony was looking pretty rough, 5 or more heads eaten by this devil worm. So i took the colony out and rearranged the LR beneath it to break down the sand tube this worm had created fom the sand to the candycanes which were about 12 inches above the sand. then I desided to clean and frag the colony. The sandtube was woven through the branches. As I was tearing though the tube I saw it retreat deeper into the colony. As I started cutting the coral I noticed it smelled like the stench of a rotten tooth .This worm ate its way into a mouth of one polyp and burrowed into branches and was eating this coral from the inside out. I am pretty sure I got all it's pieces. Can These thing regenerate? Hope not! I know I got the tail end and the head. I am also hoping there was only this one worm because I never say more than on tube at on time and it alway eminated from the same space.
