Is that a bobbit worm????

Yeah I think it is. I've figured out its location for food, noticed it when feeding a few times and finally saw it really good today. A hair raising moment you could say. New tank coming though and starting with dry rock. Nothing will enter the tank without a good dip and I'll probably restart the current rocks in the tank, not taking any chances.

An to think I once was freaked out by bristle worms-feeling kind a silly now after seeing this

Yeah that looks like a little one still, so i dont think it would be nailing to many fish yet, but may have made a snack of some of the smaller easier to catch things for sure. If I remember right you have to basically pull the whole rock to get it out because if u rip that bad boy it will just "split" and regrow a new end. Either way, goodluck!
