			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft" title="Giant Worm" src="http://cache.gawker.com/assets/images/io9/2009/03/giantreefworm.jpg" alt="" width="310" height="206" /> Researchers at the Blue Reef Aquarium in Cornwall made a discovery worthy of a Frank Herbert novel: A massive, 4-foot-long reef worm that was chomping through their local corals.</p>
<p>According to This Is The West Country:</p>
<p>Staff eventually lured it out with fish scraps – but not before it bit through 20lb fishing line.</p>
<p>Curator Matt Slater said: &#8220;As part of our tropical marine displays we have been painstakingly propagating a variety of corals. They are extremely slow-growing and every one we have lost to these attacks was a major blow.</p>
<p>&#8220;In the end it got so bad that I decided to literally take the display apart to find out who was responsible. I could hardly believe my eyes when I finally caught sight of the culprit.</p>
<p>&#8220;It really does look like something out of a horror movie! It&#8217;s over four feet long with these bizarre-looking jaws. Having done some research we also discovered that it is covered with thousands of bristles which are capable of inflicting a sting resulting in permanent numbness&#8217;.&#8221;</p>
<p>The worm has been taken into protective custody, placed in its own tank. No word yet on whether it is pooping out spice, or whether it&#8217;s going to be used to create the water of life.</p>
