Big worm in tank!! In Cholla

[FSkerlak]

Help! When I try to get it (take the lid of cage off), it sucks itself back into the cholla hole in a second. I can't get it. If I just remove/replace wood, how do I know if I got them all, if more than 1? Do I need to do a total sand change? Anyone know what kind of worm this is? Is it dangerous to the crabs?

It looks like a beetle larvae of some sort. Sort of like a mealworm. I wouldn't worry about it, it's not going to hurt the crabs!

Are you feeling better?

Definitely, thank you so much! 10 inches of substrate in 55 gallons this weekend was not what I was looking forward to lol.

It can be really alarming! I had similar ones after putting elm bark into my tank. Waking up to find little worms everywhere was kind of startling.

No, just getting more comfortable with talk to text.

Haha! You found a loophole!
