I almost think you better off taking what corals you have out and just nuking the tank. There are to many to deal with from what i see!!!
Where did you get your rock? They had to come from somewhere!!!

So my question now is why should I get rid of them. Why cut back on feeding? Will they eventually harm anything? From what I understand they are not harmful. Those that come out during the day are eaten and I don't see any during day hours. I don't have to ever see them. I don't have algae problems. Nothing is left. Heck if a fish dies I don't worry about it just don't feed tank at all.
What is the downside of having them?
I did the pantyhose thing again and caught a lot more dint know how long I will continue. Beside I'm going on vacation an I'm making no changes ti afterwards
Not very many on this panty hose cause I accidentally put it in front of my mp40 taking it out. Blew away most in a snow storm of worms. Glad I used long thongs.

Well, the bioload alone from those guys must be pretty hefty. I am concerned that something might happen in your tank that might kill them all off at once. To much of anything is never a good thing.
They are known to take food away from corals and other critters. I've had the pleasure myself of watching many a tug-o-wars going on between bristle worms and my mandarin and my skunk cleaner shrimp over pieces of food.
What you have going on is definitely to much of a good thing. Just keep trapping until you get their numbers in check.

Thats crazy.
I've just noticed about 5 bristle worms in my 40 Breedr and I started to have nightmares that I was pulling out 2-3 ft ones out of my tank.
Good luck with the infestation. Luckily they don't come out during the day.

There were hundreds-.- some 5 inches long just cruising along the sand bed. I eventually just hand fed my fish for a while and they died out quickly!
