How to ethically get rid of Bristle Worms? Anyone want them?

[bound2falling]

They came in on some live rock and they really really unsettle me

Are there any fish that eat bristle worms? so I dont just end up with more later on
Also do people like keeping them?

I'd happily give the larger ones to anyone who wants them (SF / Daily city) California

Thanks

Let nature takes its course and get a CBB, filefish or some wrasses. Anyway, I would not get rid of BW — they eat detritus and it’s a sign of a mature system. They only look nasty at home…

You'll never get rid of all of them ...like above said- they are good for detritus and uneaten food..a very big PLUS , Imo

Bristle worms are some of the best CUC you can accidently get.

Just stop over feeding and they should start dwindling down to the point where you don’t notice them anymore. Unless you get something that eats them, it’s going to be hard to completely get rid of them.

Most fish don’t touch them.

Arrow crabs are known to eat them. They worked for me.
