Eunicid worm?

[Han]

Sorry for the poor photo, it’s very small and elusive. I’ve seen about 6 inches of its body. It hunts mysid shrimp and strikes at them like a snake. Is it a eunicid worm?

I am no expert on this but i Googled it and to me it looks like one :/ And 6 inches sounds like alot to me, i think i would pull it out using gloves and a bullet proof vest - you never know!

yes, it is. I've had one as a pet and they are fun to have but, it needs to be a species specific tank

Appears to be bristleworm but the long antenna says Eunice

I really don’t mind it being in there, it’s in my reef lobster species tank. It’s pretty cool to watch so I guess he can stay.

They’re pretty cool, but also, the stuff of nightmares...

Got some better pictures of the worm, apparently it likes pellets.
