If they ARE doing well, that tends to be a good indication that all params are where they should be.

Some people like the worms, some don't, that's not a call I will make for you, but a general rule of thumb for salt water tanks that I think is good to live by is:

worms = good and stable tank

no worms = something may be off.

Hope that helps. You are doing something very very right in your tank!
Worms are not even slightly sensitive.

I had some worms in a small Tupperware container sitting on top of my fridge. I forgot about them and left them sitting in that small container of stagnant water for 2 months. THEY WERE FINE!

Bristleworms are a sign of overfeeding - plain and simple.
