Mind helping me identify this worm

Pls help me identify this worm

This bugger has been stealing my coral fragments and placing it in its big-shot cave..

It have dragged my brain and my scolymia before to its entrance hole.

Have a gut feeling that it might be an eunicid/bobbit worm.

Now for the hard part..
How the gazooks do i get that son of a gun out?

You're right, it's an eunicid. The best way to remove it depends on how much energy you want to spend & how destructive -----
1) lure it out with food then trap or grab it
2) crack the rock & take out the worm
3) leave the rock out in the sun or fresh water for a week

Does it go after your live coral fragments in preference to small rocks? Or is it because there isn't enough rubble for it to move?

if it's living in a rock, get that rock out and ddo a freshwater dip for a few minutes..it should come out...
