If you have bristle worms, watch out as they duplicate triplicate quadriplicate, etc., and the next thing you know you can never never ever get rid of them.....I was so invaded and I tried everything from removing the sand and replacing it but they lived in my live rock and just kept on keeping on, I then got me one of those arrow crabs and he was in hog heaven but still, too many worms to eat. I was sooooo mega fustrated I ended up drying out my live rock and stripping the tank in the end. Good luck. P.S. And some fish people say they are good to have in the tank, yea right!
The b.w. won't reproduce over availiable food supplies. They are one of the best scavengers that you can get imho. Once in a great while you'll run across one of the predatory ones that'll eat corals etc. or get 6 feet long and eat horses, small elephants etc. 
. In 99.5% of tanks though they aren't a problem unless they are allowed to become a problem by over feeding etc.
