Bristle Worms? Really

[sprinklerdudes]

I have been reading on several other post in a few of the forums and noticed quite a few people having trouble with bristle worms. I never thought of this as a problem, but more of a benefit when you have a reef with a deep sand bed. They don't bother me. I was just wondering how many people really don't worry about them and how many people are just determinate to rid there tank of the nuclear resistant worm. { and if annihilation is even possible? }

I really don't worry about them.

I had bristles to creepy amounts. Stole food out of LPS corals, so I went to war. Built traps, etc.
Eventually I realized one coral banded shrimp keeps it all in balance, and two can get a plague of bristles back in check.

Never worried about them. Going on almost 6 years or so.
