So I have a medusa worm problem and have found no information on getting rid of them or anything that will eat them in my reef tank. I want them gone and any information would be greatly appreciated. Tank is less than 6 months old and I did my best to keep pests out. I'm assuming they came in on snails as that's the only thing I added before the outbreak happened. No good pictures of them but I'm 100 percent certain they are medusa worms.
 
Ok thank you I will try the arrow crab I really don't want to reduce feeding. I prefer my fish to be healthy so I do freeze dried brine with new life spectrum algaemax pellets soaked in vita chem and selcon mixed with spiralina powder. I rescued a hippo tang that wasn't being fed properly and getting bullied by a damsel so she needs all the nutrients she can get. She was in rough shape when I got her but is doing much better now other than her fins don't seem to be growing back. The HLLE has healed up significantly.
