I got sound, but no video.
I had a Bobbitt a few years back. Nasty things.
I THINK I got it by removing the Rock he was in and doing 1st a peroxide dip for about 20 mins followed by a fresh water soak for an hour.. never did see it come out, but one can always hope..
Haven't seen hide nor hair of the nasty bugger since, but you never can be 100% sure unless you actually get it out.
Can and will survive if you "break" them. Each segment is still viable.

I don't have experience with bobbit worms but I did get the vid to play by pressing the ... and downloading it.

Don’t they hide in the sand / substrate?
unless you get a body he’s still there .

I bought one from a fellow reefkeeper once, unfortunately it did not survive shipping.

Same way to get rid of it done here. Take rock out, dump in freshwater. Otherwise super hard to try and can kill it or take it out through other ways

If I knew it was in a rock . I would have busted apart to get it .
I hat to be a jerk but no body no kill .
