spaghetti worm help

[Kigs]

Call me paranoid, but I swear that they are stressing out my zoas to death.

Obviously I cannot *prove* it, but within the last few moths, I've had a burst of spaghetti worm population.

They would always wrap their "tentacles" in/out/around the zoa polyps and I believe this would irritate them constantly to close up.

After this, couple of weeks later, usually the zoanthids come down with fungus infections, and I would find TON of these guys just gathered around those infected polyps. The next day, the infected polyp is usually gone.

Am I being biased here? Are they known to irritate softies?

Are there any ways to actively control them? via invert/fish?

TYIA, Any help would be apprecieated.

i havve tons of them... never had or noticed any problems. Softies and SPS doing good for many, many months with them

a sudden population increase is most likely because of high levels of nutrients or overfeeding. i would do a good cleanup of the tank. if you think there are too many they are fairly easy to suck out

I'm looking for something that will "control" their population at a constant level. I've considered Arrow Crabs or CBS in the past, but I need something that won't become a menace in the future.

I'm sure I'm just being overly paranoid...but I think too much of something is bad, even if it's a good thing. Maybe a Coris Wrasse?
