An arrow crab will Crush them. It is cool to watch them with 1/2 the worm in each claw then randomly eat them. Although I can't say for certain that arrow crabs are 100% reef safe

+1 arrows will destroy all of them! Just watch them when they are done with them, they just might go for your fish.

Your LFS prolly sells bristle worm traps. Pick one up and see if you get the results you're looking for.

They're cheap.

Some wrasses eat them. I've seen less since I got a hoeven's wrasse.

Correction you probably have 1000's in your tank. Don't fight them. They are beneficial in that they eat all the excess food that ends up in the nooks and crannies in the rocks and sand.

My Coral Banded Shrimp eats them. It's pretty entertaining to watch it dig those little suckers out of the rock and chomp away. :D

My skunk cleaner shrimp will occasionally snatch one and munch down. Also likes a taste for my stomella (sp) snails!
