I recently took a rock out of my tank and turned it from live rock to dead rock over a course of a few weeks it was very porous and once the worms came tumbling out looking for a new home I counted over 300 worms that I could see most were less than an inch in length with only 14 over 5 inches so yea once they are in your tank your stuck with them whether you want them or not
