I read a thread (I think on Reef Central) where a guy had a 7 foot long one in his tank for years. They're pretty good at hiding and I think if they break in half they can survive and regenerate. I also saw a video of one in the wild being fed dead fish on a night dive. Scary buggers IMO.

Yikes, never heard of a bobbit worm looks pretty nasty, how big is it?

Maybe try to bait and trap it.

From what I saw couple inches but never seen it fully out so god knows how big it is I'm thinking of using a tube to suck out that whole area to get it

I have something like that creeping around my tank, it is tricky and cautious. Hard to see most of the time and jumps back in its hole quick. Here's a pic of its head sticking out. It's rather evil looking and from what I've seen it's at least 6 in long.
