Dont know about 3 weeks but if u want it to last, buy a cheap fishtank pump and a large 40litre container. Fill with fresh seawater (not out of a rockpool) and keep the worm in here. The water will need changing every 3 days. Hope this helps.
thanks lads but is there a way i could do it in the fridge and instead of 3 weeks how about 2 ive search and it came up a litter tray with sea water etc etc but whats the best way to do it like this

iv'e kept ragworm for 3 weeks before in the fridge. i use trays with just enough water to cover their backs, and change the water every couple of days with fresh sea water kept in the fridge so it's the same temp as the old water. they don't last aslong when they're spawning.
you can keep them in a litter tray,half covered in water. but as said you will have to changed water every couple days,take out any dead ones or damaged ones ,keep lug the same way.best as codseeker posted

old fishermen never die--they just put there rods away
in the fridge at a decent temprature as long has theres enough water for them to move about but use fresh sea water every few days and take any tail ends out or washed out ones that are showing there beaks (they go a very light colour)
Cat litter trays are perfect, you can put about 5 in the fridge. Fill about half full with fresh clean sea water, have the pump outside the fridge with the plastic pipe fed in on the hinged side of the door and fit a stone to break the bubbles down as they will suspend longer and areate things better. Get connectors with valves to run extra trays and a descent pump. Set the fridge to about 3 deg. Ive kept them for weeks like this.
i have kept rag lug and whites in cat litter trays in the fridge, however i never used a pump just kept on top of keepin the water fresh and clean however dont over-crowd the trays as this causes the worms to die hope this is useful mate.
