Here's the video of one i had in my old tank.

Had to smash apart the rock to get it out, was close to 40-50cm long!

I guess I'm in the minority few here but I wouldn’t remove any living creature hitch hiker from my tank. I just see everything as part of the overall ecosystem and they live in a reef for a reason. All God's creatures have their role in nature. Im not opposed to introducing natural predators into the tank to solve a situation though because the same would occur in the ocean too.

So you would keep adding fish and inverts as it prays on them?

I’d kill it. I cure my rocks to kill most of that stuff.

I pulled a few out from this last batch I had. I’m glad none of them made it in.

OP said its been in his tank for 10 months and did not indicate any fish had been killed by it and its size was quite small too still.

Tank has lots of corals and glued rock, hard to remove anything. Also it has not been a problem, it seems to be a vegetarian eating mangrove leafs that fall into the tank.

Vegetarian you say?

I'm tempted to keep one as well after watching your video it really is interesting watching it move through the rockwork.

Yes I have seen the pictures of Bobbits eating fish. However, the research I’ve done list hundreds of different possibilities. “There are 353 species in the Genus Eunice and they very well can’t all be the Bobbit Worm”

Tbh I've just been looking for a chance to share that meme . It's really interesting I'll definitely be following along I'd personally like to have one but the missus would kill me if she seen it.
