Known bristleworm predators

I would like to know what everyone uses to control them. I have some real monsters, and they are not that appealing to us, so I would like something, prefer reef safe, to eradicate these without mercy. Please give me your suggestions.

 

Arrow crabs work on bristleworms

 

I use to have a spotted hawkfish who would eat them. He also killed shrimp though.

 

Got rid of mine by putting the live rock in a tank in the basement with no heat and in several days they were in several corners in the tank curled up and dead along with the aptasia. I swear they were killing little fish like my blue spotted jaw fish and fire fish. Many threads say there harmless though. Get rid of empty shells they hold eggs.

 

Coral banded shrimp, arrow crabs, some hawkfish, and the "lined wrasses".

 

I've heard of some people using traps to get them out. Google it and there's some designs for DIY bristleworm traps out there.

I got a trap, but it's really slow going, these things are smart enough to out wait me at night. Going to look into some of the other suggestions and see if I can step it up some.

 

We actually have a trap at the store I came accross. You just empty out the worms once a day.
