Add a fish that eats bristleworms, or multiple depending on tank size.

its bad the bristleworms in his tank eat with the fish i mean when he feeds the fish the bristleworms come crawling out of the rocksand eat what the fish cant get to. i think it s funny but its driving him bezerk . they will come out with the halides on.

I had a boat load of flat worms and I used the Flatworm Exit, it worked great though the corals weren't very happy,(but it didn't hurt them just aggrevated them). I know that you can put some fish in there that will eat them but that could take longer that just using the flatworm exit, then to avoid another infestation then you can get the fish to help control it.
Good Luck

not at a dosage that won't kill many other things.

fwe works, but using it is a gamble
