“Ok, that’s one place off the list,” user X joked. “I already wanted to stay away from Australia and now I want to live on another planet without Australia,” added another. “Leave it, there’s work to be done,” added the third. “Oh, heebie-jeebies!” joined the fourth. “Thank you. Now I can never enjoy the beach again,” wrote a fifth.

About the worm:

Australonuphis parateres, giant beach worms, are long and thin, according to a blog published by the Australian Museum. They can grow up to 300 cm with short tentacles near the head. “They are located on sandy beaches at low water level. They are omnivores, scavengers of seaweed and animal matter washed up in the beach drift zone,” the blog further mentions.
