Thanks Nana.
Have you ever tried to trap bristle worms using a container of cooked shrimp? I think I read that that's one way to get rid of them?
 
Bristleworm are not bad in a reef. They are detritivores, eating any leftovers or dead stuff. Having too many means you are potentially over-feeding your tank.
 
Ya - you would no more want to get rid of those than you would the earthworms in your garden. They are related and fill a similar ecological role. :)
