There is a guy over on the Michigan site I belong to that has a bobbit worm. He finally hooked it, yes fishing hook, but it broke in half and he only got the back half out. Here is a picture
This is what the head looks like, (not his picture) and the half with the head is still in his tank. He is not sure if it is alive still or not.
Pretty amazing thread. He has been feeding it food laced with super glue, Interceptor and other things trying to kill it. It would stick its fuggly head out of the rockwork and grab the cocktail shrimp off a pair of tweezers or what ever he used to put the bait in front of it. The saga is still continuing.

LOL Now I know where they got the inspiration for the movie Tremors!

Not a good thing. A very bad thing. A thing that you want out of the tank. A thing to be avoided at all cost.
A thing that is "an aquatic predatory polychaete worm dwelling at the ocean floor at depths of approximately 10–40 m.
This organism buries its long body into an ocean bed composed of gravel, mud or corals, where it waits patiently for outside stimulus to reach one of its five antennae.
Armed with sharp claws, it is known to attack with such speeds that its prey is sometimes sliced in half. Although the worm hunts for food, it is omnivorous.
Little is known about the sexual habits and life span of this worm, but researchers hypothesize that sexual reproduction occurs at an early stage, maybe even when the worm is about 100 mm in length; this is very early, considering that these worms can grow to sizes of nearly 3 m in some cases (although most observations point to a much lower average of 1 meter) and 25 mm in diameter. A long lifespan may very well explain the size of these creatures."
