A small butane torch should work but in one instance a friend of mine used a large propane tiger torch to burn them off of +200lbs of his live rock.
seems a little drastic at this point (beeing only a couple dozen worms), i could see it for colonial hydroids or when the digitates get really bad. was just hoping there was something that eats them seeing that there is only a couple worms here and there (but on every rock). ide hate to pull out and torch every rock for a few worms on each... but will definatly keep that in mind if i cant figure it out before they get extreme. thanks.
