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 Tuesday. 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.
The creature is covered with nasty
bristles that sting and can cause
permanent numbness in humans, the
newspaper said.
“Tt really does look like something out of
a horror movie,” Matt Slater, the
aquarium’s curator, told the Mail. “It’s over
4 feet long with these bizarre-looking
jaws.”
Slater said he suspects Barry arrived as a
baby in a shipment from another
aquarium. The worm now lives in his own
tank.which staffers call “Barry” — had been
