eunicid worm?

[myfrostymember]

i believe this is a eunicid worm but im not sure looking for a little help as to what kind of worm and how bad it is or good it might be

the guy is pretty big and very fast- he is about 7-9 inches when he stretches out (maybe more he hasnt fully stretched out yet) he has fives antenae on his head and a split v tail- i have a picture of his head- tail and- one of the whole body with some bristle worms around him

any help is great thanks matt

Images aren't showing up. It does sound like an eunicid from your description but it could also be an onuphid although this family is rarely rare in reef tanks.

Yep, you got it right. Some of the species when they get large enough will start eating corals in addition to other worms & small critters. A few of the biggest species will even take fish. You can either return it to your tank & keep an eye out for signs of predation or just yank him right now. There are a couple of RC worm lovers who might want to take it off your hands.
