My question is why get rid of bristleworms?
They are beneficial.
If you have too many, it is likely due to overfeeding your tank. Cut back on food, and the population will adjust accordingly.

Yes I am aware that they are beneficial. I don't want to eliminate them just reduce thier numbers. My current tank inhabitants are well fed but not overfed. I have a few corals but I'm a fish person mainly.
It would extremely difficult to feed them any less and still maintain the peaceful co-existance I am enjoying presently. In fact I'd rather just have all the dang bristle worms than risk disturbing the peace.
Fish are
1 Pair of Gold Stripe Maroon Clowns (approx 2 inches and 3.5 in)
1 Domino Damsel
1 Electric Blue Damsel
1 Four-stripe Damsel
1 Little Brown Damsel ????
1 Six-Line Wrasse
1 Sohal Tang (approx 7 inches)
1 Powder Blue Tang (approx 6.5 inches)
1 Powder Blue Tang (approx 5.5 inches)
1 Queen Angel (approx 3.5 inches)* 90% Adult coloration
1 Niger Trigger (approx 4 inches)
I have 4 Bubble tipped Anemones and about a dozen various pieces of coral as well. 5 Skunk cleaners, 5 Emerald crabs, and 2 sandsifting stars along with the rest of the clean up crew.
The tank is teaming with life and thriving. I need to post some pics. I'll see if I can catch both PBTs and the Sohal munching off of the same clip of Seaweed Selects.
I've posted misc pics of my tank before but that was before Katrina claimed it.
