Photo not clear but looks like a stomatella snail. Google it to confirm. Stomatella snails are beneficial herbivores.

Need to see it's head to confirm. if the head has antenna like projections, could be a bobbit worm. bristle worms don't have this.

Now u mentioned. It really does resemsble a bobbit worm more because of the head. My purple tang had suffered some injuries that doesn't look like it had a fight with other fish. I threw it away already. If not could have identify it further

Bristle worm won't easily break to two.. those fishing worm yes..

Attached are the bristle worm.. some told me is a bobbit

Kelvin, your photos are of a bobbit. note the antenna projections from it's head. it's jaws are retracted inside it's head. definitely a nasty.
