I have a lot more than a hundred at the moment and they've been a part of my tank's ecosystem since 2004. The only issue I've ever had with them is that I've been stung a few times which for me has been about as bad as a mosquito bite. Because of the bristle worms, mini brittle stars, stomatella snails and other varieties of smaller snail I nearly have tank that manages without a store-bought cleanup crew. In fact all I have that was store bought is a cucumber, two abalone, a limpet and an astrea in a 230gal system.

I agree with the feeding...cut down on how much you feed. The more you feed, the more the reproduce. I would even go as far as feeding every second day until the numbers decrease. A couple of coral banded shrimps are a good idea too. I've had them in my reef tank and didn't have problems with them.
Good luck Reef93 |

I never had a problem with them until this week, i found a near 1 foot long giant in my refugium. They don't eat macro algae.... so he's eating my pods! or well, the dead ones at least. I'd set up a crab trab before in my DT with just a coffee cup with a shrimp in it, ended up with a big crab... and 5-6 bristle worms. So I've just put that in the refugium, lets see what i get :S

Actually, looking at the title do you mean bristle worms or brittle stars? Because the micro brittle stars can look a lot like worms (their tiny arms will wave out of the rocks.)
