What type of worm is this ?

I found this in a piece of fresh live rock that I broke in half.



The tank is intended for a mantis shrimp FYI.

Eunicid (bobbit) worm from the looks of it.

If you didn't get the whole worm, he can regrow an entire worm from just a segment. Nasty worm too, can certainly kill fish.

Eunicid worm, remove it

That was my thought, I was wondering if it is possible to determine the species?

I’m pretty sure I got the whole worm, but who knows. Do you think it could pose a danger to a mantis shrimp?

No.

Lol definitely not. Would be a nice snack, if the mantis ever catches the bobbit.
