Unfortunately there will always be bristleworms in the tank. Always. Waiting....

'Tis all good :P

I'm fine with pretty much anything else ,just not bristleworms ,peanut worms ,and other nastey little worm like hitchhikers.

Edit : The best thing I could think of to comapare it to is people who are scared of snakes. I love snakes ,own 4 of them ,and think that being scared of snakes is beyond stupid. However there are people that can not even be in a room with snakes ,let alone look at them. Pretty much the same thing with me and bristleworms ,to a lesser scale.

I fear you're chances of having a bristleworm free tank are pretty close to zero. You'll think you got them all, then one night, when you least expect it, you'll see one slithering from on hole of your rock to another. You won't know how it got there, but the chances are good that if you can see even a single one, there are dozens to hundreds more in there that you'll never see. Nothing will ever be able to eat them all once they're in there, because bristleworms are very rarely out in the open where something could eat them. They spend most of their time under/inside rocks, making more and more bristleworms to replace the unlucky few who do get noticed and removed, or eaten by a predator.

Perhaps a little exposure therapy is in order?
