So, from moving my corals from my JBJ 28g to the big tank, these little white feather dusters are starting to reproduce way too quickly.
I don't want them taking over my tank, so what will eat them? I've done some research and peppermint shrimp seems to be the best. I have a skunk cleaner in the tank already, (BTW it's a Red Sea E-260 w/sump upgrade), and think they should be ok together.
Other fish are: 1 Chromis, 3 Banggai, 2 Clowns, 1 Six-Line, ! Yellow Tank and last but not least 1 Mandarin.

Nothing really eats them and a peppermint shrimp isn’t always a guarantee. I used to have a on if them but they all disappeared with time
 
Some butterfly fish will eat them. The problem is they will likely nip at your corals as well particularly when and if they wipe out the worms. They are in abundance because there is a large amount of food for them to thrive. Take away their food and you will better control them.
