For some reason i want to set up with some MASSIVE bristle worms.
Does anyone know where to get HUGE ones?
 
you can always just look for rock that already has some and just keep & grow them, depending on where you live you could just go searching for them.... but other then that i am no help haha
 
liveaquaria somtimes has medusa worms

bristleworm, but cooler
 
Massive worm = eunicid worm, those are the ones that get several feet and have monster jaws. A majority of fire/bristle worms that hitch hike on our rocks hide all day and stay small, usually under a couple inches. Best place to get them is ask your local reef club if they spot any, they will be more than gladly to give u some. I never encountered any online store that sells them, occasionally you can find some nut job selling fire worms on ebay as tank cleaners. Medusa worms are actually a kind of cucumber, death = cuke nuke.
 
go to the lfs they usually have some giant ones just cruising in their display tanks.
 
are medusa worms reef safe or not?
 
Easiest way is to get live rock from someone. Usually they come as hitchhikers in the rock. I just caught a 5" one and flushed him, since I have probably 10 smaller ones I would rather keep the smaller ones than the larger one there.

I don't think so but then again I didn't know they were cukes either:/
