Bobbit worm?

[dabroli]

Saw this guy poking his head out from my new KP rock a few times over the last few weeks.. always at night, always with a red flash light. I moved his rock to the top of the structure away from all food sources. He was always super reluctant to leave his cave. Tonight after about a week he finally left his hole and I caught him. Notice the white line behind his head.. he’s now in his own aquarium. Looking for opinions as I’ve never seen one in person before. Sorry for the crap pics.

Wow that’s gnarly looking! I don’t know at all, but I thought bobbit worms burrow in sand? Either way I would not want that in my reef from the looks of it!

I believe 5 but I will try to get a better picture hopefully tonight. Since putting him in his new home he’s yet to come out

I have one of those in my KP rock. He's very shy, and cool looking. If he ever starts looking something from Tatooine I'll catch him.
