Most bristleworms are beneficial detrivores. There's no reason to get rid of them. They're only there because there is enough food for them to eat. If you have a ton you are probably over feeding.

He actually can learn. If my firefish [brain the size of a pinhead] can, he can.

I wouldnt like my fish to eat my bristle worms, but if you insist, Pseudochromis sp. do eat them.

I saw once my XL cleaner shrimp jumping around like crazy in the tank, when I got closer I saw it was fighting a large bristle worm that was powerful and made the shrimps jump around when trying to get away....the shrimp won and had a large meal.
