Best bristle worm trap

[wantsummora acropora]

Yesterday while doing tank maintenance I was removing my lobo and a huge bristle worm whipped around and almost got me. I've never been stung by one and I'm not in a hurry to have that experience. Ive looked at several designs on YT and Etsy and even some diy ones I but thought I'd ask for the communities input. I've seen a lot of littles ones lately and I know I have one ginormous in there.

I've had them in the past be pretty defensive, borderline aggressive against fish but never noticed a CBS hunting, killing, or eating anything of note aside from peppermint shrimp once.

I have/had 3 peppermint shrimp and I haven’t seen any of them of late. My fairy wrasse has decided to sleep right where I spotted the ginormous bw.

That’s the trap I was considering. I’m going to diy one while I wait for that other one to arrive.
