Not a bad animal at all. Fun to have. I have had one for 5 years.

I think that they are called peanut worms because they look like an elephants trunk grasping for peanuts. The one that I know I have has lived in the same rock since I have had it and only reaches out as far as it can reach out from its hole. Doesn't bother anyone, in fact I once had a firefish that camped out with it. It never was scared.
