I've treated twice now and they're back... (Treated to a great amount of stress the first time I might add as a 25% water change on 260 gallons is no easy task). Now I've just resigned myself to siphoning them out every week or two as another form of nutrient export. (Apparently they consume phosphates). There's a great article about them in one of the past issues of Coral. Opinions vary, but the general consensus seems to think they are not harmful to your system unless they reach plague proportions. Thus far mine have not touched the corals, they like to bask in the light on the rocks and sand making them very easy to siphon out. Given a choice between removing these or algae, I would go for the worms myself.
