Eunice worm?

[Lsufan]

Can someone id this worm, Eunice or something else. It's definitely not a brissle & I don't think it's a fireworm but I'm not sure.

Thanks for the help

Can you get a closer picture of the mouth, it appears to be an Eunice worm, but the tell tale mouth is somewhat obscured by the dish it is in, a better picture would help to be sure.

Thanks thegrun,I thought Eunice at first but now Idk it may be a fireworm. This may be a better pic but if I get any closer my camera gets blurry & if I take him out of the dish It won't stop rolling around.

From that pic, it looks like a fireworm to me.

Here's one more about as good as I can get. I zoomed in the pic so it's a little blurry

That is definitely not a fire worm! Fire worms have lots of fuzzy white brushes along the sides. Like these:

Looks like it might be a bobbit worm.

Those are tentacles around the head: bobbit or eunice ---same thing.

I thought maybe they were the same worm.

Yep. The 'bobbit' term comes from a certain domestic violence case---and the violent behavior of said critter on the attack.

Don't kill it! Ask around, I know several members want them for species tanks.
