No way. My favorite fish are sharks, seahorses, and frogfish; I'm sure that there are lots of people that think they are ugly and nasty and should die. As long as someone wants it (Cranberry, are you Renee?) I'll do my best to get it to them.
No luck last night ~ didn't even see it much less trap it.
I don't think using hands or pinchers would work, it would duck back into its cave too quickly.

i think that i have the same problem my lfs said it was ok to be in the tank but now im paranoid i dont know how big it is because it always has one end in a rock but if i were to guess it would be at least 6-10 in.
also i looked at the traps and unless there are bigger ones my lfs didnt have i dont think it will even fit in it.
hasnt harmed anything yet

A hose or some type of 1/2" tubing or pipe with a piece of shrimp jammed into the end should work. It will feel secure in the tube while it eats and you should be able to just pull the tube out at night while it's feeding.

Yours looks like an Oenone fulgida worm. This is a predatory nusiance species as well.

Yuppers... Renee
I would take good care of him... even though I have to say nothing makes my skin crawl like they do.
