Arrow crab, Melanurus wrasse, Six line wrasse, Longnose butterflyfish or Copperband butterflyfish, Angel fish might eat them
 
+1 my copperband eats em and eats aipstasia
 
Large life begins from small life they are not alien to their environment and may be more beneficial than you think

The small fan worms are also reef safe why do you people want to kill the essential life that resides in our aquariums and the sea.
 
They are there because food is available for them.. Cut back their food and they go away.
You feeding phyto or any other plankton?

can you take a few crisp photos for me, i really like the aesthetic
 
Why would you like to kill a poor little starfish like this that is beneficial to the system they never attack my coral and from what I have witnessed in my own tanks that most healthy coral can out grow the fan worms but they do well living below and near the coral.

I like them but I keep them in control with bumble bee snails. I transfer them back and forth from my DT and my always running QT.
