help with removal of huge Eunice Worm

[christyf5]

I had a large one in my tank a number of years ago, at least a foot and a half long. Ate all my zoas, bastard. I managed to find its lair and took the rock out that it lived in. I did end up dismantling half my tank and was lucky that it eventually slid out of the rock it was in (or I might have broken the rock in half, I can't remember). The worm also broke in half too. It was absolutely disgusting. I was mostly across the room while a fellow reefer removed and disposed of it for me

If you can remove your zoas from your tank, you could bait your trap with zoas.

Seems like a common go to for them.

Murphy's law. Remember the member who had a Moorish Idol for months and then it started eating his expensive zoa collection, going from the most expensive to the browns. This Eunice worm obviously went to the same school of eating corals and pi$$ing off tank owners.
