I had read somewhere that a cold dig will help get the bristle worms to let go of the rock, and when I did it sure enough they started to come out, I dipped them in the cold water and would splash it around some and most would fall right off, I did pick some off as well. Once done this I would put the rocks into new tank water at room temp. If I noticed at that time any majona I would get under them with a semi sharp knife and they would let go fairly well after the cold water dip.
I'm not saying this is the end all be all for pest removal, I just wanted to decrease the numbers significantly and I think I accomplished that. as for timing to switch stuff from the quarantine tank, I was thinking next week if my parameters are still good, was really curious about what you guys all thought because you have way more experience than me. thanks again

About the bristle worms. I think you should keep some, but you really don't have a choice. Unless you kill everything on the LR, there will always be some in the nooks and crannies.
If you want to decrease the population, there is a way. Take a piece of an old nylon from your wife and put some food into it. Like maybe a 6mmx6mm piece of shrimp, anything really.Tie it up. Leave it in the QT tank overnight. The bristle worms will get stuck in the fine weave of the nylon. Just take the whole thing and chuck it in the morning. Repeat as often as you wish.
