Bobbit worm in my tank???!!!

[CPperson]

Hi everyone, this is a big shock to me. I was watching some videos on bobbit worms and I was thinking to myself, I would never get them and I went back to my tank. And inside a hole in one of the rocks, I see a red wormish head poking out with like 3 long tentacles and 2 short ones? Before retracting back. I was really shocked and worried, how could I have gotten a bobbit worm? Of course there are many different Eunicidae worms and mine is red, so it should not be those huge 6 feet tank destroying ones right? I am that "Leave it in the tank unless proven guilty" guy. And I would really be happy if it is safe,they are kinda cool IMO. Anyone can give any advices on this worm? It would be really greatly appreciated! Thanks! (i'll try to get a pic.) Btw, anyone here also get this kind of worms before? I got this worm in a live rock from a marine shop in pasir ris Haha.

mm..  there could be more of them in your tank, probably 50 more if you have many live rock not treated.

it could be many type of different worm but if you rather be safe than sorry, you can remove the rock.

monitor a while to find out which rock the worm stays and take it out.

Can get some wrasse or dotty back.. they will eat the small one before they grow up, big one you will need to catch. Just remove them, no point keeping. Put a water bottle and put market prawn in it, should catch many big worm.

Dotty back will also attack small snail, starfish and prawns, so be careful.
