I was recording my turkey wing clam and noticed this odd worm(?) on the rocks to the left. Has antennas and seemed to bite at something.
So long as my citron goby is safe I’m fine leaving it.

Tank has TBS live rock so I have a good feeling where it came from. Anyone know what this is?

Agree with bobbit worm
Dosent look like particularly harmful one though, theres around 350 species in the Eunice genus, most are detrivores, some are predators or herbivores.
Id still get it out just to be safe, I'm working on getting one out of my tank too.

Thank you both for the response. I had a feeling it was a Eunice but was hopeful it would be literally anything else lol.

I’ll try my best at removing but with this being a tank at work I don’t have much free time to fish for a devil worm.

If I do trap and remove I will update this thread with photos of the bugger.
