Spirobid worms

[GR00VY]

Hello all. I seem to have a spirobid worm problem brewing. They were few in number and mainly on back glass so I left them alone. I have been busy for the last 2-3 weeks with a ton of work so my regular viewing of tank has been limited but in those few weeks these little guys have popped up everywhere. How do I get rid of them? The tank is about 10 months old. Been relatively stable since the initial cycle outside of one bloom that happened shortly after cycle.

mag float or whatever else you use to clean the glass.
copperband butterfly if you aren't planning on adding any featherdusters.

Never saw a copperband mentioned for these. Do you know if they suck the worm out or take the whole shell?

not sure. but my tank is "clean" of those and every duster worm that was in my tank. and there were a lot.
even if they only suck out the worm, a mag float would clean up the remaining.
