How on earth did a 4 foot long sea worm get into the aquarium. I hope that they didn't put him in there because most of the fish in there are endangered and the last thing they need is to be trapped in a glass tank with a polychaete worm. Please god don't tell me he was in one of those little tanks for kids to poke their fingers in. This is one aquarium that should really get more serious about what they let in.

Ever heard of a hitchhiker?
Municipal aquariums have to build their tanks the same way we do, just on a larger scale, hence larger unwanted hitchhikers.

Other articles I've read about Barry say that he was accidentally put into the tank as a little baby when they put some new coral into the tank that he had been hiding out in.
It happens, just usually doesn't turn out this big!

LOL
They arrive as very small worms in the live rock that is base of most reef aquariums. Normally only the smaller bristle worms survive and thrive. Occasionally a larger worm will make it thru the curing process, this one is massive. They are actually very pretty when they are upset and extend thier spines. They are almost irridescent.
