They can become so populated as to bother the corals. Not to mention if they become over populated and die off, the same result from the toxin can happen.

However, if someones wishes not to treat, here iswhat works best to keep them under control or eliminate them if not to many.

-siphon out as many as possible on a regular basis.
-good flow, esp. over gravel or sandbed helps.
-very good skimming.
I noticed a change when I added Tunze stream pumps and a large beckett skimmer.

Also some fish can help but its a hit and miss. My mandarin ate them but not enough to help. Six line wrasse and leopard wrasse,s also help. Remember they also are harder to keep otherwise, {leopards & mandarins}. There have been accounts of yellow tailed damsels eating them but not sure anyone would want them in there tank. , as well as severla of the blennies and such.
