generally bristleworms don't eat anything that is alive IME.
Could it have been that the snails were dying and then being eaten? did u properly acclimitize them? Snails can take a few days to die off if they weren't acclimatized properly.

I also have something killing and eating snails in our 120g. Never see the culprit as I think whatever it is attacks at night. Only see the dead snails partly eaten the next morning, then a few days afterward, there's nothing left of them.
I know we're not dealing with an Oenone worm because there is no slime covering any of the snails. Snails have been with me for months in various tanks before amalgamating them into one back in August, so acclimatization isn't the problem.

During the summer months I go away for a week at a time. During that time I feed the fish using an automated feeder that dispenses flake food. I have a Falco Hawkfish that does not eat dry food. Interestingly enough I have no more Bristle Worms. Even at night using a flashlight, I see none.

another way to get rid of them is feed the tank some shrimp of some sort and then physically remove the worms.
I have to do this every so often with my seahorse tank. I use a pair of forceps Hope this helps Neal
