Bristle Worms

[Ram2003]

I have heard that they are good and bad. I have a 24 gallon nano and I now have bristle worms is there anyway to rid them for good? I don't have any in my 175gal or my 100gal. I have looked into to arrow crab before but I don't think I can ever have a clam again. I have lost 3 so far and will purchase another one. Do I need to start all over so I can make sure to rid them for good?

They are now considered to be an essential member of the clean-up crew. Their population is self limiting and based on food supply. The only reason to get rid of them is aesthetics.
