I saw it right in front of my eye.

There's a cut on the side of it now and I think it's about to split.


What should I do?

Well, at least the title brings an image of a worm with hairy toes

We removed three of those from our tank. My wife insisted there was four, but I think my moving a rock one was in was seen by her as a fourth as we haven't seen one since and it's been almost six months I think. Creepy things!!! I hope someone has actual, useful info on your nem for you though!

Thanks. The side of it looks damaged.I am just guessing but it shriveled around the wound.

Fixed. Though I must say, the idea of a Hobbit worm made me smile.

Got a pic of the damage?

I woke up and it didn't split.

It seems okay right now.

I bought it a few days ago. I think it bleached at the store but it's coming back.

 

[reef lover]

Looks ok.

I’ve actually got a video of it.

Nice vid!! If you can catch them alive theres several members who would pay to ship it.

 

[Daniel Thompson]

did you get it out?

 

[c147258]

No I didn't.

I've tried trapping it but it won't fall for it
OK.

I ended up removing the rock he lived in and dipped the thing in fresh water.

It probably died.

Plus I live in Asia. I don’t mind shipping it but you may have better luck with a local in your area.

This is crazy. Thus far in 2019, quite a few Bobbits emerging in member tanks.

What’s the most likely way to end up with a bobbit in your tank? Rando non-qt rock?

Hitch-hiking and they are very sly in storing themselves.
