If you think your overfeeding then dont feed so much, use a siphon to clean up excess food on the bottom, the bristle worms are beneficial and are helping to clean up the excess food, once you cut back on feeding and clean everything up the bristleworm population will stablize and decrease on its own.

How long has the tank been set up, do you have a sand bed, how deep, equipment, how many fish, what kinds, what are your tank parameters, do you have live rock, how much?

Oh yeah welcome to reef central.

Are you located in Newcastle NH.

Hey Robot,

I only feed every other day and my fish are doing well. If you over feed you run the chance of excess nutrients in your system that can lead to algae.

Do you have a clean-up crew?

Get some hermits and Nassurius, they'll make short work on excess anything
