I spent the evening entertaining it. Put on some music, made it some dinner... I fed it some krill, got a brief video of it grabbing my feeding stick a couple times. It doesn't come out of it's hole very much or for very long. It's shy, but not afraid to poke its head out for food, or the potential of food. I moved the zoa colony it's been snacking on, so hopefully that slows down the loss. At this point I'm going to keep it under observation. It's too small to harm any of my fish, and I've moved my scooter blenny, which is my smallest fish, to my other tank.

if it was my tank i think i would take the rock out and and dip it in some fresh water and try to get that thing out of there before he eats more coral or fish if the anemone is in a flat surface on the rock u can easily take him off there.

Yeah my nem isn't going to be easy to move. He's well attached with two hosted clowns and is quite large. And, that's the only rock he's allowed to be on (no corals).

Something so terrible and hideous should not have been so cutely named. I can only pray to the the aquarium gods that I will never have one of those things into my tank.
Good luck getting it out man and watch your fingers they sure look like they have a nasty bite.

I just found out that I have a Mantis Shrimp in my tank which sounds almost as bad as your Biobbit worm. I freaked out and bought this trap on Amazon out of pure fear. Not sure if it would work for you?

Mantis shrimp will not harm corals, there are two distinct types: Smashers and Spearers. Smashers prey on inverts like other shrimp, crabs, etc. While spearers prey mostly on fish. The only real way to tell the difference is to look at the structure of the front legs/pincers. If it looks like a hammer its a smasher, if it looks like...well a spear; it's a spearer.

Honestly I'd rather have this worm with a face only a mom could love, over a Mantis Shrimp.
