Needless to say I have a lot of bristle worms in my tank is it good to have this many or bad? If it is bad what’s the best way to get rid of them?

Wow that’s a lot . Not sure if it’s good or bad but I take the big ones out if I see them in my tank . I made a bristle worm trap . Here’s a little video I did .

How to catch a bristleworm (fireworm) in a reeftank
Thank you for the video I will try that . The way things are nowadays I’m sure I can find empty hand sanitizer bottles
 
They are a good addition to the cleanup crew but I personally would not want to have that many, mainly because I find them a little creepy and they sting.
Try reduce the population by feeding less, use a bottle trap or add a natural predator for them is my advice. :)
 
Sweet baby Jesus yeah that's too many, too many of anything is a bad thing, specially something that can put a hurt on you. My personal tolerance for them is zero.
 
Yes, that's a lot of bristle worms. Stop over feeding your tank and their population will fall accordingly. Many fish love to dine on them - most wrasses, for instance.
 
Yep, they will "self regulate" with less food available
 
The funny thing is I have a six line wrasse for about a year and a half in the tank but he is the pickiest eater of all my fish
