How do I nuke these darn bristle worms???

[Reef]

I have a Nano tank right now with 25 lbs LR, and 10 LS 2 perc clowns, a
yellow tang, fire shrimp, and a serpent star. Along with the regular tank
mates, I have a MONSTER load of all size red bristle worms!! these things
are just parting inside the tank, now some how one of the has started to
make a nest on the side of my serpent stars vents, he is not doing well.
(plus yuck!!) These things have to go!!, how can I nuke them?
thanks for help, even if I need to start over with new LR & LS. I want them
gone!

Buy an Arrow Crab and/or a Longnosed Hawkfish. Both will
eat bristleworms, reducing the population. You might try
feeding less too.

I kind of like having a few bristleworms around. I thought they
cleaned up a lot of useles gunk and kept the substrate stirred up a
little? I've heard that they can get kind of big sometimes and cause
problems, but they've never done anything but good in my tanks.
