Hungry Mungry!

Here is a vimeo video of a hungry worm that I found while surfing the web...

Just be glad they aren't 6 feet long!

That damn thing is a trip. The octo either tasted like crap or the worm was unlucky and became lunch. Cool video, thanks for putting it up for us to watch.

Holy crap, that thing is terrifying.

those are the things in the ocean that freak me out!
I think you've figured out the root cause of your problems. Even sea lions get annoyed by splitfin divers silting out their dive sites. Switch back to your jets and you'll be safe from the sea lion silt prevention patrol from now on. - NWbrewer

Never heard of or seen em before and was on a night dive in Malaysia. Didn't know what the thing was so pointed my flashlight at it as I wasn't sure if it was living or just some pice of plastic with an anemone or something on it. Bobbit worm bit my flashlight and almost yanked it out of my hand before disappearing in the sand! Scared the crap out of me. Thankfully no one seemed to notice me scream underwater lol
