it is hit and miss... Why do you want to get rid of them? they are great detrius eaters... just watch out for their sting.

Don't know why you want to get rid of them (they are really pretty harmless) but your best bet is a Mystery Wrasse, Twinspot Hog, or any other "ornamental" hogfish that will not eat shrimp, etc

Arrow crabs will definitely do it. Mine grabbed several worms when I first set it up and put the live rock in.

I have a Springer's dottyback and a falco hawk in a tank in which one can rarely fine a bristleworm. It certainly had bristles in it before those two moved in, so I think that they are the cause for the bristles' demise.

I thought bristle worms were supposed to be a good thing to have.
