Welcome to Reef2Reef!!!

There are various type of traps you could use. Or natural predators like wrasse and arrow crabs. However many people just ignore them since they are good clean up crew.

The only ones you want to watch out for are fire worms. They have distinct red and white bristles.

Welcome! They make 3d printed traps for them and can be found on Amazon or other places on the web if you want them gone. Or some crabs eat them too.

Welcome to R2R! For the most part I'd ignore the bristle worms unless you see a really big one or they start to obtain plague proportions. They are useful scavengers. If you need to remove some, the traps are reputed to work but I have no personal experience with them, tweezers can be a fun and fulfilling side-hobby or you can try a wrasse. I don't recommend Arrow Crabs usually as I've never met one I would trust with anything else alive.
