Bearded fireworm? How to deal

[spiffyreefer]

Unfortunately I seem to have a bearded fireworm problem in my tank. I went hunting a captured a bunch of larger worms…AI says they’re fireworms. I was having a problem keeping my fish alive in this tank (up and running for 2 years at this point) so I’m in a fallow period at the moment. Maybe this was actually part of the problem. What can I do to eradicate these as best as possible and manage long term? I’ll get a trap to help reduce the population but will a melanarus wrasse eat them? Since I have no fish currently I have flexibility with livestock. It’s a waterbox frag 105. Help!

They look like bristleworms.

They look like bristleworms.

Some of them are bristleworms for sure. The one solo came up as a bearded fireworm. Not the best lighting. The head looks different from the others.

Look like bristleworms to me too. No red outline most likely no fireworm. Bristleworm can get huge too.
This is a bristleworm too in the pictures.

If you look closely, it is definitely a bearded fire worm.
