Can bristle worms kill torches or any corals? Losing corals and am trying to cover all my bases. This really is happening with no changes to the tank.
 
Would you give some more details, perhaps even pictures.

I use bristle worms as an effective detrivore. While they are opportunistic, I don’t see them killing anything. Perhaps they are grazing on something that is dying.
 
Well I start losing heads on a couple torches and Goni’s are closing. I did a KFC dip and it help a little. Not understanding what’s going on, just trying to rule things out.

These worms are scavengers eating uneaten food and detritus and dead fish or inverts and not known to kill anything
