While ago picked up some LR that was crawling with worms, was almost creepy when feeding the tank. Haven't seen any in months and have couple of clowns, damsel, 6-line wrasse and a P Tang. Leaning towards the 6-line as the guy with the appetite.

I'd put my money on the wrasse, too. My 6-line works pretty hard to keep our tank worm and pod free. In our other tank, the pair of ocellaris don't seem a bit interested in the large worm population.

Copper band will eat them but he also like feather dusters and might nip at clams.mine did.

6 Line Wrasse will eat them pretty fast! Emerald Crabs work too but I have had Emerald Crabs eat the odd coral as well.

I saw my arrow crab eat a few. But a Bristle worm trap works really well. I have the green tube one. Just set it down where you see the worms. Then turn off the lights and in about 1hr you should have caught a few.
