something tells me their just normal blow lug dan, most blow lug have yellow tails, yellow tails OR blacks (same worm) are very difficult to source in Ireland, you can obtain large blow lug at certain spots where i live which we call 'blacks', although they are big worms, 20cm+, often black in colour, they live in a u-shaped burrow and are not real blacks.
