I used a 2 liter bottle with squid in it--tied a string to the neck and yanked it up. Hide it cuz they are quick and will flee if it sees you. Don't fight with the worm gotta get the whole thing Gumbii mentioned the nylon stocking with squid which some used to catch bristleworms (stupidly imo) and it may work. Another time I found the rock it was in and yanked the whole rock. Kept it in a 2 gallon and fed it once a week--brought it out on Halloween and it was a big hit!

It does not...go to an LFS and buy a piece of soft decorative rock, cut it in half and hollow out both halves, drill holes into each half, place a fresh piece of food in the middle and secure both pieces together with a rubberband, use some fishing line to make a handle to yank it out, after all this judt place the hollow rock by where thr worm lives...it gives them the illusion of crawling into LR so its alot easier to catch them since u wont have to wait around

these are not bristle worms its a eunicid worm. its around 3 feet with a girth of maybe 1/2" its a huge worm. maybe the picture does not show the true size of this thing.

Wow - creepy!!

I pulled one of these out of a client's ~26 gallon nano reef tank a few months ago, it was only ~6" or so. ...and THAT was creepy, I can't imagine three feet long!
