ok i just tossed some food into the tank for the fish and the anenomes and i happened to notice a VERY large bristle worm. olive green, bright white spicules, and at LEAST six inches long..it was still half in the live rock cause it retreated quickly when my sally lightfoot came near it. it looked at least half an inch wide at its thickest.
this is the first time ive seen it and now it has me wondering if it was the culprit behind the missing fish and starfish.
any help is appreciated.
ill try to get a better description and a pic but this is the first time ive seen it and the tank has been up and runnning for almost a year now.

It could be blamed for the missing stuff but I doubt it. A friend as a larger one in his tank and it has never bother a thing but you never know for sure.
