An arrow crab will eat them...but may also small inverts....and he may get eaten himself by certain fish...
Another option, take a 5 gallon bucket....mix a VERY high concentration of salt water, dip our live rock in it for a few minutes...they will come out of the holes, use tweezers and pluck them out into a bucket, then rinse the rock in some tank water.

Guys right on (as usual)
Enjoy the bristleworms, they are a sign of good stuff in your tank. they breed and release gamates into the water column and this in turn feeds your corals.
The bristleworms are fine, they don't cause any problems, and many people pay for these things, so start selling them off.

All of my worms are gone,and I see no more kritters in my LR.. Everything else is fine, except my rocks pink areas are now turning white
What is wrong? Will the kritters come back ? Will the rock turn pink again?
PH = 8.4
Ammonia = .10
Nitrite = 0
nitrate =4
Temp = 81
Salintity = 1.019

Your ammonia level depends on which test kit you have.
my ammonia level always reads .10, whether its in the tank, or in the bucket of mix water ready to go in.
it doesnt matter what dechlor i use, aquasafe, or any of them.
