Default What eats bristleworms?

Small bristle worms can be ok but they get big. Today I found a huge one
that I just set a trap in hopes of killing. Yes, I've read about the pros
and cons of bristle worms; but I don't want something that big in my tank
that's very mobile with strong stinging abilities.

Just a while ago my lights went off. I waited a bit then grabbed the
flashlight. My astrea snails, red, blue and other assorted hermit crabs
were walking around the little bristle worms without even trying to eat
them. I'm not so sure yet if hermits care about bristles. I'll keep
watching though. I will say that I have a lot of hermits but my bristle
worm population is rising.
