    When tearing down some tanks I found this guy. I'm thinking its a bobbit worm because of the eyes, although can't see any pincers.

    He's out of the tank and resting comfortably outside in the garbage :)

    I'm not sure how many species could be lumped under the name "Bobbitt Worm," but it appears to be in the same family. Some of the smaller species never get to be a major problem like the larger species do. I probably wouldn't put it back in the tank.

    Cheers,
