Ok...newbie question...I thought this was a bristle worm. What is the difference??

cpschult · Dec 8, 2016

If you look at the second picture you can see the Bobits evil mouth. I googled them after squid commented.

There are at least two members who have been looking for bobbit worms.

Well it's sitting in a cup in my basement. Probably be aced by tomorrow but if you know who tag then please.

If you wanna send it, I'll take it. I don't think it's a bobbit. Cool one. Looks like a bristle but antenna like a eunice. Not sure

Wiz · Dec 9, 2016

Willing to pay shipping? I have a styro but will need to find a decent heat pack. This is only if I can keep alive over the weekend in a cup. Was alive this morning so I replaced his water. Let me know, I'm in Wisconsin and it's something like 18 or 20f out.

Kinda tight but I can do priority mail. Usually around $12. If it cost $30+ then I'm good. I'm in NH

Lets see if it makes it through the weekend. Any recommendation on a heat pack that will last a few days?

Also, which part of NH? It looks like there are 2 AND 3 days shipping points. https://www.usps.com/priority-mail/map/

@Diesel any shipping tips? Trying to get an icky worm to wiz

cpschult · Dec 9, 2016

I'm actually going to try to feed it when I get home, saw a video of someone feeding one on youtube, looked pretty awesome!

They are extremely hardy. I had a bunch in some live rock that I washed with freshwater and left sitting in a bucket for a week. when I came back it smelled putrid and the worms were still crawling around everywhere when I went to wash again.

The label "Bobbit worm" used to be for a single species of eunice only, the Eunice aphroditois. I agree it's not that species, but another species of eunice. It's a nice one!
