Does this method harm the bacteria or critters on the rock? I suspect from my sister's description that I have a bobbit/eunice in my tank and I want to try and get it out without killing it or anything else. Are there any other tried and true ways of removing worms without killing everything?consider a fresh water dip. also Lionfishlair Rene had a convo, she recommended this.
"When I dip, I use a hypersaline solution. Everything bails to the bucket and you can choose who you want to keep. I used a 1.045 solution. Some stuff came out that I just threw right back in."
fwiw you can freshwater dip rock and sand without killing the bacteria. peroxide water too. some organisms in a FW dip dont do well. some do IME .Does this method harm the bacteria or critters on the rock?

I will definitely give you a shout out if I get it out. I was actually secretly hoping I would have one of these guys in my rock because although I don't want it as a permanent resident I think it's still pretty stinking awesome to come across one. I don't actually know if what I have is a bobbit or not, I haven't seen it yet, but my sister perfectly described a bobbit when she saw it several days ago. I even stayed awake until 12:00 last night to try and spot it, still nothing.I know this is redundant. But if you get it out and don't want it give me a shout
I'll probably try the freshwater dip first. How long should I let the rock sit in the bucket? Should I use water filtered through my rodi or can I use faucet water? (I have well water)

I want one too! I was waiting on a guy in Vancouver to catch his 6 footer for me. But it appears he got too scared to send it

Ok, so this morning I found what looks to be a bobbit. In my filter sock. It has five antennae things like a bobbit (bristle worms only have four right?) but it's barely 2in long. I have to admit, I am kind of disappointed in my tank for offering up such a tiny specimen. I was hoping for at least 5 inches of worm! Maybe I should toss it back in and let it grow some?
He is kinda cool though, in a creepy sort of way.
Mini eunice! This would be a good start for Wiz to try and learn about different species!
Wow didn't know you would be so excited over such a tiny guy! I don't plan on keeping it and would be more than happy to send him your way, although I have never in my life shipped anything live and I'd be paranoid that he wouldn't survive the trip.You should send him to me. Oh please if you do anything with getting rid of him send him to me
