I've had some for 4 years and have never seen them molt.
Thank you! Were your worms alot smaller when your first got them??if so how do they grow? If its not the worms that molted it could be the barnacle i have in the tank. I know they moult but it looked exactly like the bisma worms. Thanks for your help!

I couldn't find any information on them molting, I don't think they do. They grow pretty slow, I broadcast feed live phyto daily and Reef Roids/Benereef twice a week. They have never reproduced in my tank and I haven't heard of any cases where they have reproduced in an aquarium.
