I have some newer KP aquatic live rock and have located a bobbit worm living in it, any ideas on how to remove him? The rock is movable, but also has some trochus snails and a brittle star on it

if you live local I'll gladly take him off your hands lol. otherwise bait him or use the salt trick mentioned earlier, depends how daring you are because they can nip youPics to follow when he comes back out
Yep if you have a smart water bottle (long skinny) use that put the holes toward the bottom of the body and the food at the top. So the worm hast to put its whole body in the bottle.Well I dipped the rock for five min in 1.040, lots of brittles, no bobbit. I know there is a spaghetti worm in there also, so now I try the bottle trap?
There was a post of a person looking for Bobbitt worms on here you maybe able to give it away.If you can pull the rock carefully, put it in a 5 gallon pail with water at a salinity of 1.040 for about a minute. Everything should scramble out of the rock. You can then pick what you want to keep.

thats a Eurythoe not a bobbitYep if you have a smart water bottle (long skinny) use that put the holes toward the bottom of the body and the food at the top. So the worm hast to put its whole body in the bottle.
This one ended up stretching from the food at the cap, through the bottle and straw and still had a hold of the rock. I couldn’t pull it out with out breaking it.
any chance you live in jersey?No it’s not a bristle, thanks for the tips. I positioned the rock so I can get at the worm easier and have the tongs ready in case I see it
