I have a couple small pieces of rock that house a nasty worm, one that needs to be removed, these things are very fast and when I poke my head around the side they slip back into the rock. I was told they need to go. So my question is. How can I rid the worm off the rock and not destroy any of the other "live rock life" left on it. TY.

The spikey arms sticking out at the top are brittle stars and are great CUC members.

The bottom looks to be some form of worm, that one I might try and get out.

Yup, I have several of those Brittle Stars, and 2 of those nasty worms. I know exactly what 2 rocks they're in and I plan on removing the rock and getting them out, not to mention one more elusive gorilla crab. But so far he's so tiny.
