Eunice aphroditois
This Bobbit worms are very vicious predators. They usually emerged during night time from sandy bottoms, 1-2 inches and lie in wait while other fish swim by and then they lunged at their prey. Their length can be up to 1 meter but very rarely seen completely out from their hole. Their body has very nice shiny coloration.
