ANIMAL SPOTLIGHT: THE GIANT SEA WORM
Staff at a British aquarium have captured a massive sea worm that had been terrorizing other aquatic life. For months, the 4-foot-long creature — which staffers call “Barry” — had been devastating coral reef at Newquay’s Blue Reef Aquarium, the Daily Mail newspaper reported. The menacing monster also apparently injured a Tang fish. Initially, aquarium workers weren’t sure what was harming the coral, which in some cases was cut in half. After weeks with no clues, they decided to take the display apart to see if they could find the culprit, the Mail reported. Workers laid bait traps, which were mysteriously destroyed in the night, as the glutton apparently devoured the fish hooks right along with the bait. Finally, staffers spotted the tropical worm, which bit through a 20-pound fishing line before staffers were able to successfully remove it from the tank.

this might be the single most important thing to ever happen in Newquay.
tang fish is a royal fish
WTF. Is that thing real? Is this real? Am I an idiot, I'm still trying to figure out if this is real.
Looks like one of my ex's.
Ice Cube and John Voight would regulate on that shit like it was nothing.
