Some bristle worms are reef safe and they actually help with the detritus.

This worked really well for me: Take some polyurethane foam about as big as your hand that you can fashion or tie into a tight tube with some string. Tie up one end really tight and, with your finger, jam a piece of shrimp or crabmeat as deep as you can into the foam tube. Bristleworms apparently love the tight fit and stay put while gorging on the decaying bait. Leave the trap weighted down with a rock for a few days. Then check on it once in a while until you eventually catch the hairy beastie. Cheers!
