Just wanted to share because it's just so darn satisfying!
Bristleworms creep me the *** out. I'm moving everything from a 25 gallon (that was gifted to me) to a 55 gallon and the substrate in the 25 is just infested with the things. Blech. I'm replacing the substrate, so no worries there, but there are some rocks I want to keep and I've seen the BWs crawling around on/in. Traps haven't worked. My banded coral shrimp is a punk and won't eat them. Something had to be done.
Soaked one of the rocks in hot distilled water with H2O2. After an hour, this is what my daughter and I were able to get out of the rock. The really big one broke in half, but still. Gross!
