One foot bristle worm need gone

[Duez]

Tonight i was flashlighting around in my tank. The first thing i see is a giant bristle worm "about a foot showing" munching on gsp, i need a few ideas to try with out taking the rock out plz. I have read a ton of diy but seemed like no clear way most gave up and took out rock. I figuer tomorrow night i will try baiting with a soda bottle and a piece of shrimp

Make a spear with a fishing hook, straighten out the hook so it can be used to stabbed the worm...? That's a big worm be sure to take some pictures once out.

Yup i will it got to be longer then 1 foot

 

[Duez]

The hook idea im not sure that will work as soon as it sees light it retreats behind rocks

Get a cheap tupperware container that is as flat as you can buy, I have one that's about 2" tall ×4×6, put a small hole in the lid big enough for the bristleworm, put a piece of shrimp in there and bury it in the sand and wait. Good luck.

A bristle worm won't munch on gsp
Shouldn't anyway. If it is is probably not a bristle worm.

Likely not a common bristleworm. Most likely a fulgida sp.
