If you feel that you have too many of them, you can put some food in a
panty hose, and remove the excess worms that way.


Oh, THANK you! Another use for old pantyhose, wonderful! LOL
I already use them for holding carbon and such in canister filters.

Hard to stop when you haven't started. Currently, I have my live rock set up,
some hitchhikers have appeared, and I have a few hermit crabs. That's all. No
need to feed what isn't there.

Still working on bringing the nitrate and phosphate levels down.

If it's a new tank (couple months old or less) I'd say wait for
everything to get stable before dealing with the bristleworms. Most
polychaetes are self-limiting (population-wise) and will probably do
more good than harm in a tank. Once you add some active livestock in
there you won't see them as much during the day.
