yeah I agree but it's honestly hard to tell without a better picBobbit worms build a tube made out of small rubble. They stay in that tube and only come out to attack. They are an ambush predator. The tube is distinctive, if you know what it looks like you can't miss it.
What you have looks to me to be either a fireworm or bristle worm. They can be pests but they clean things up well and are easy to catch and export. If you have them you will never get rid of them all, nor do you want to. Just keep them in balance and you are good.
Also bobbits don't care about anything that isn't moving.It is tough to see, but it's head is on the top left, you can see the antennas. This was moments before it snapped at the zoa head. It's in the live rock that is full of coral, so I can't take it out. Will try a trap, fingers crossed.

Export them. I have tons and they come out when I feed my LPS. Just capture them and ...How do you keep bristle worms in check ?
Yah, doesn't look like a bobbit but it doesn't look like it belongs either. I would remove.Got a better image, video this time. I don't think this is a fire or bristle worm.....
I'm trying, but it is very quick. I put in a trap, hopefully it works.Yah, doesn't look like a bobbit but it doesn't look like it belongs either. I would remove.
I don't care for crabs but.. as soon as I saw the crab claw I was Team Crab.
This is a eunicid wormYah, doesn't look like a bobbit but it doesn't look like it belongs either. I would remove.
Bobbits make a burrow out of rubble. Do these do the same?This is a eunicid worm
I am so sorry @ReefingCanuk . i had to destroy a rock to remove my eunice. The bad part is, they latch onto their den with their tail. Should they be caught, tail breaks off and grows a new head.
You have a battle on your hands.
Not all eunices will form a tunnel. Most do. The one I fought with chose to live in the rocks. Inside the rock was a lot of mucus that looked similar to spider dens. I had several others living in the sand bed. Both different species.Bobbits make a burrow out of rubble. Do these do the same?
Darn! This guy likes the tunnels of the live rock, it is very porous. Pokes it head out of different openings and snapping at snails and zoas. My clown goby hangs out there, so worry it will get attacked once this monster gets bigger. It's also my show piece rock with encrusting and other corals.
