The 5 "antennae" give that one away...That is definitely a Eunicid worm. There are tons of kinds of these, some problematic, some not. Some get HUGE (like 7 feet long)..some stay less than a few inches.

Observe and try to see what it eats. I kept one for many years that was exclusively vegan and quite a pet.

If it is destructive, you'll never catch it using a trap or anything like that. You'll have to remove the rock it lives in...smash up the rock or use soda water or vinegar to get him to abandon the rock somehow.
