Simple and effective Bristleworm trap needed now!

[Speckled Grouper]

Is there such a thing?

I had been wondering which creature was digging around one of my rocks, I have been seeing holes and caves all around it, but wasn't quite sure what is was.

Well tonight I saw it and it scared me, I peeked into one of the caves from the side and all I can see is large bristles in a ball, it looks like it's curled up in there and could easily be 2 feet or longer.......

Any suggestions what I can do on the fly to get this thing outta there?

Search function not working for me, so please help me out here.

Thanks in advance.

I've heard you can put food in nylon stockings and their bristles will get caught up in it.

Ok, thanks, I got a nylon sock ready with a silverside, wish me luck....

Any other suggestions?

You may also want to try a 6-line wrasse, they tend to scout over the rocks looking for bristleworms.

A Six-line wrasse that can handle a 2-foot long bristle worm? Yikes.
