>There is apparently a photo captioned the 'unimaginable Bobbit worm' in
>the book 'Coral Seas'  1998, by Roger Steene, if anyone has it.

Also:
On page 18 in the January edition of National Geographic there is a
interesting picture of a Eunice species with jaws wide open. In the article
it is written that the worm is "The size of a small carrot, it emerges from
the sand and spreads jaws that look like miniature ice tongs, used for
capturing small fish."

The reference is below.
