The turtle looked like a kid in a candy store and had chomped three or four exotic fish in half and eaten one whole before we could get him out! Her mother walked in to chunks of her beloved fish floating around! It was time for me to go home...

a 3.5 foot Eunice aphroditois better known as a Bobbitt worm.

Wait' this is a 200 gallon tank (not huge) and a 3.5 foot long creature could hid it for years ?

That must be a typo...

Why do I have the twilight show theme running around in my head? Then again maybe I should switch to the Jaws theme because it is fishy.

If I were a stockholder of that aquarium, I’d be firing everyone within a mile of that tank. Ten years and the staff never knew about a 3.5 foot creature eating all those expensive fish? Imagine what else they were too lazy to do.
