How many people have Eunicid Worms? How many care?

I have had luck dipping my rock in carbonated water. They ooze out slowly and you can pluck them with tweasers. This also works with many other hitchhikers. It as I know, has little if any side affects to the rock or bacteria.
 
I haven't seen any eunicids......yet.

I do have one or two Sipunculida Worms aka...peanut worms that appear to have developed a taste for star polyps. Still don't know how I'm going to get them out though.
 
I just saw one in my tank and it freaked me out!!!

I called my LFS and sent them a pic since I had no idea what it was.

I'd like to get it out asap but i won't be able to without destroying my rock work... plus i just get the "heebie geebies" just looking at it.

if I didn't intentionally put it in my tank... then I don't want it there!!!
 
Ive had a few of them...agree they are bad

.here are a coupel pics of the last one.

Im glad I found her when I did. She survived a iodine dip and was in a fairly new addition of polyps iside the rock. I caught a glimpse of her body one day and knew what it was so I pulled the rock out and broke it to get her out.....as you can see she was ready to pop with eggs in the last pic. Her blue tail dropped and dumped hundreds of eggs in the container I was taking pics of her in
