eunicid worm.....help

[mystery_reef]

hi to anyone. im just wondering if anybody knows any tricks or advice that i can use. i saw one of these worms quite some time ago and i got lucky and removed the whole body. i believed this to be the only one but later realized that it wasnt as my soft corals still began to disappear overnight. with a flashlight i saw two worms i believe or possibly just one really big one in the tank. and yesterday i removed several pieces of live rock in which i believe they are hiding. i found one of the worms in one of the pieces and i would prefer not to get any new live rock. what can i do to permanently remove these guys so they stop eating my softies. its in a 125. and i believe one of them at my little true perc. thanks.

Mine were really hard to remove. I ended up having to rinse my rock in DI water, which had corals on them (soft). I used a baster to squirt water on the rock, I just made sure the PH and Temp was the same as my tank water, and i had a container of tank water next to me to dunk the rock in every now and then. I ended up breaking one of the rocks (zoas), but it was worth it I guess. Good luck.

yea i believe there were only 2 and found the rock they were in but couldnt get them out so i just broke it and then threw it away. now im just hoping they were the only ones and that they havent reproduced and i will see more later. thanks for the reply though.
