just wondering if any reef safe fish eat tunicates and polychaete? worms ( the ones in the sand bed) they are kind of over running my tank, i dont think they hurt anything but they suck as far as asthetics.

Not sure about what fish to recommend (if any....I know morish idols, eat sponge but not sure about tunicates) Usually things like worms will reach a population density that is sustainable for your tank...in other words there may be a population explosion, but if the food isnt there, than the population cant sustain itself and and will drop in numbers naturally. You could try increasing your numbers of scavenging CUC, to reduce the amount of available food.
