🪱Eunice aphroditois
El gusano Bobbit, Bobbitt o gusano de arrecife gigante (Eunice aphroditois) es una especie de anélido poliqueto de la familia Eunicidae. Vive en el fondo del océano Atlántico e Indo-Pacífico, donde entierra su cuerpo en un lecho de arena, grava, barro o corales, espera pacientemente a un estímulo en una de sus cinco antenas y ataca cuando detecta a una presa. Con un tamaño que varía de menos de 10 centímetros a unos 3 metros de largo, está armado con dientes afilados, y es capaz de atacar a velocidades tales que corta a su presa en dos. Aunque el gusano caza, es omnívoro.
