Amphinomidae, also known as the bristle worms or sea mice, are a family of marine polychaetes, many species of which bear chaetae mineralized with carbonate. The best-known amphinomids are the fireworms, which can cause great pain if their toxin-coated chaetae are touched or trodden on. Their relationship to other polychaete groups is somewhat poorly resolved.

Bobbit Worm Eunice aphroditois occurs in the tropical Indo-Pacific and Atlantic in a depth range from 1-200m. This bentic Bristle Worm can reach a length of 3m. Its an ambush predator; it hunts by burrowing its whole body in soft sediment on the ocean floor and waiting until its antennae detect prey. It then strikes with its sharp mandibles. The bristles of this bristle worm are not legs in the manner of articulated ambulatory attachments, but the muscles to which they are attached are powerful, lending them the ferocious speed with which they are able to exit their lairs.The Bobbit Worm is an omnivore, feeding on small fish and other worms, as well as detritus, seaweed, and other macroalgae. They are mostly nocturnal and do the majority of the hunting at night. During the day they retreat to their burrow, but if hungry enough will hunt during the daytime also.Lembeh Strait, Indonesia 1°29'32.881 N 125°14'12.8996 E at 13m depth by night
