Mind helping me identify this worm
Pls help me identify this worm
This bugger has been stealing my coral fragments and placing it in its big-shot cave.. It have dragged my brain and my scolymia before to its entrance hole. Have a gut feeling that it might be an eunicid/bobbit worm. Now for the hard part.. How the gazooks do i get that son of a gun out?

You're right, it's an eunicid. The best way to remove it depends on how much energy you want to spend & how destructive -----
1) lure it out with food then trap or grab it 2) crack the rock & take out the worm 3) leave the rock out in the sun or fresh water for a week Does it go after your live coral fragments in preference to small rocks? Or is it because there isn't enough rubble for it to move?
