Default Superworms Jailbreak!

Hi all

My 5ft tank has a bottom cabinet where a sump tank is housed. That's where i keep some of the barang barangs as well as my box of superworms

This morning found the box toppled! I managed to salvage some of the worms but there are a handful that actually burrowed their way into the styrofoam base of my sump!

I further "dug" out a few that were slightly visible, of course, causing some minor dmg to the foam.

Will it cause support integrity issues to the sump tank? There are still some worms burrowing within and I think weakening the foam, at wits end not sure how to get them out asap

Any advise appreciated, TIA!

Dont think there is a way to get them out.
Those that stayed inside will probably die there
Dont think they will do much damage except causing your foam to look ugly

thanks for the assurance bro.

I must remember to cover back the container lid as well, didn't expect this to happen

Standing back and staring at my sump. I think i did more dmg to the foam by digging them out then to let them be and die inside...
