 No conch here, no sandbed either.trilinearmipmap, Could possibly be that huge b-worm. But how the heck do I get rid of it without taking my reef apart On the other hand, I've had b-worms that big in other tanks, BB and with sandbed, and not had a succession of snails killed.Still got that trap set with the dead snails. Nothing seems disturbed in the trap over the past 2 days, and no dead snails either.

I have read about a trap that may work for bristleworms. It was made for catching Isopods but it would probably catch bristleworms too.
Take some clear rigid tubing 1/2" size or so. Put the bait in the middle. Plug each end with loose cotton batten. Anyway it's worth a try.

Have you tried feeding it T&T cold water snails?

That was my first thought, but there are carnivorous conchs as well. A photo might help identify it.

OMG!!!!!!! WE GOT IT!!!!!!
  Just before we "thought" we were going to bed, we took a flashlight to the graveyard (that had been cleared of all bodies). And we found a margarita snail tipped over. Strange, I thought, because margaritas are well known to be able to right themselves compared to astreas  Then I looked further into the cave, and there was the HUGE b-worm heading right for the snail We removed the lights and glass top, got a glass, a long plastic stirring spoon and the serving tongs. With the flashlight, a little yelling caused by the fear of this thing, the spoon and tongs, we GOT THAT SUCKER  Now, I'm almost positive it was the b-worm that was killing the snails, but we will be vigilant and continue to watch the tank over the next few days. The b-worm is in a glass in the sink. If I get a chance tomorrow to take pics, I'll post them. OMG, I'm so freaked that we got that close to that monster to actually get it out OMG, it's in a glass in the sink OMG OMG OMG

Quick update.....
The worm was injured and I couldn't let it slowly die in the glass overnight, so we euthanized it. Sorry, there won't be any pics
