Is this a potential problem?

[MRICKEN1012]

Ive been seeing a ton of mini brittle stars, nassarius snails, and bristle worms. Mostly during feeding. I will see at least 4 bristle worms up to 6 inches, 50+ stars, and about 30 baby snails.
I just started seeing the worms a few weeks ago during the day. The stars, I remember putting 1 in the tank about 5 months ago. As for the snails I only have about 3 adults (they must have really went to work.)
I know none of these are bad, but can they get to plague perportions? Do the have any natural preditors that are reef safe?
FYI its in my 29g that Im having the ''problem''

They will populate depending on their ability to survive. Lots of waste to feed on = more critters. Less food = less critters.

I don't think any of these present any problem. The stars and nassi's are great additions. The bristle worms generally don't bother anything but they can grow to an annoyingly large size and a few varieties can give an irritating "sting".

A small wrasse (6 line would be my choice) will keep the stars in check. The predators that might deal with snails and worms may be a cure worse than the problem. (Perhaps a blue chin or pink tail trigger (generally reef safe, but grow large) would help.)

Like mentioned, none of these are going to pose any real problems and they are self populating, meaning they will multiply or decline in numbers based on tank conditions.

I personally would leave them be, but if you feel compelled to get rid of them Artfuldodger has offered some pretty good alternatives.

Good luck

I agree too - my wife however hates the worms and a homemade contraption was made that can catching 10-20 at a time over one night. I put the trap in once every few months or when I get the honey reminder

They don't bother me, I just didn't want them to become a problem. I will leave them be.Thanks everyone.
