Spionid worm removal

I've scoured the internet for information about how to remove spionid worms but can't seem to find anything. Much of what I read is that they are harmless except for the fact that they might irritate corals, especially zoas. This could explain why my zoas are healthy but never seem to fully open 100% of the time. I am hoping someone loca has had luck and can offer some insight. TIA!
 
Maybe a copperband or wrasse? I had a yellow coris wrasse that was constantly picking at the rocks. Prior to the addition of the coris, when I would see the worm's tube I'd crush them. But afterwards I didn't see any tubes. Could be coincidence I guess. I didn't have featherdusters in the DT but there were tons in the overflows, so I suspect something in the tank was eating those too.

I have the ones on the rocks and sand. I currently have a 6 line wrasse that doesn't touch anything, not even bristle worms. My tank is small (30 gallons) but I am in the process of upgrading to an 80 gallon, which is why Id like to get rid of the worms before the transfer. I could potentially move the 6 line out temporarily and try and get a yellow coris.
