One way to remove some of them is to take a nylon stocking(panty hose), put a small piece of table shrimp or other bait in one, tie the open end off with a string long enough to hang out of the top of tank. Throw it the tank at night and in the morning it will be full of the bristle worms. They try to eat the bait and their bristles get caught in the nylon and they can not get out. Pull it out with the attached string and throw away. Keep doing this each night untill they are gone. Make sure you use a new panty hose, not used ones.
