Small Bristle worms control

[scunfcu]

What fish or invert will eat and control bristle worms?

I found these choices

- Peppermint shrimp
- Arrow crab
- Coral Band shrimp
- Six-line Wrasse

Of these options, I like to get opinon of what really works, and choice that will not harm my corals, shrimps or fight with our my other fish.

I have mixed reef with fish, cleaner shrimp, zoas, dottyback, tang and royal gamma in my tank. Read that Coral Band, arrow crab and Six-line may be aggressive.

The very best way to control a bristle worm population is to reduce your feeding. They eat left over food and detritus, so if you reduce that they will stop muiltiplying and the number of them will dwindle.
The living solutions you mention will eat left over food long before they eat your bristle worms as food, so again, the food load needs to be reduced

Thanks Kathy, I'll work on decreasing food source.
