Need help getting rid of bristle worms

[Eastwick]

As title states I need help finding a solution to get rid of bristle worms from tank. I heard arrow crab will eat them. Any other suggestion?

If you take a nylon bag full with shrimp or other meaty foods, and them put it in the tank at night, you should get a swarm of them attacking the bait bag.

Hmmm interesting never heard that one before

Are the bristleworms harming the tank someway? Many people dont like to see them but I've NEVER seen one harm anything healthy in the tank.

Yeah they eat detritus and harm nothing. I’ve heard of monster huge ones getting stuck in a pump, but doesn’t seem like the norm. Most people leave them in.

I agree. They are a great part of a clean up crew so unless they are causing some sort of problem I usually just leave them. Reducing the amount you feed the tank or start direct feeing corals/fish can help cut them back.

Ironic - here’s me over here wishing I had them in my tank. 

 

Ive seen many threads like this pop up, but you’re trying to get rid of a beneficial tank cleaner. The eunicid worms are the big nasties that you’d want to get rid of.
