Eunice worms are large predatory nocturnal feeding bristle worms sometimes reaching 16 inches (40 cm) in aquaria and much more in the wild. They burrow, and do not live in a tube. Unfortunately they also burrow into stony corals and damage or kill them. They also will feed on small fishes and invertebrate. Natural predators include the Harlequin Tuskfish (Choerdon fasciatus) and Green Bird Wrasse (Gomphosus varius). Removing these worms when seen with a large tweezers is highly recommended.
