Staff at Newquay's Blue Reef Aquarium, have captured a giant sea worm that had been terrorizing other aquatic life.
This 4-foot-long sea worm was devastating coral reef and terrorizing fish at an aquarium in Cornwall, southwestern England, the Daily Mail reported Tuesday. The creature, known as "Barry," devoured bait traps - hooks and all - and bit through a 20-pound fishing line before staffers finally managed to capture it. The worm was moved to its own 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."
