Welcome to the site mate. Keep them in a tray in your fridge with enough sea water to just cover them but you should see part of them coming out of the water. Keep a look out for any burst ones and remove instantly. As soon as the water turns any colour (not perfectly clear) then change all of the water immediately (check every day). I've kept worms for a couple of weeks like this. They must always be kept in water though as transfered from paper to water doesn't seem to work. Hope this helps

Hi mate,
That's excellent advice from 'mogthemackem'. Just another bit of advice for you to help keep them in good nick : Keep some sea water in your fridge as well, so that when you change the water it will be at the same temperature as the water you discard. I use a couple of 2 litre plastic milk containers, which I replenish when empty. Ragworm can be kept in the same way and are easier to keep than lugworm, but as the last post states; with care they can be kep for a few weeks. One last thing : don't put too many worms in each tray. The fewer in the tray, the easier to keep. Good luck mate.
