Why would you want to get rid of them? They are very good for your tank. They filter your sand and eat all of the leftovers. The lights won't effect the bristle worm population.

Yes, they will. If they are out of hand then knocking back the numbers isn't a bad thing.

6 line wrass, mine almost killed off all of mine, the only survivors were the ones deep in the rocks and rarly came out and the ones that stayed under the sand.
arrow crabs eat them to, and theres less of a chance of that one killing other small creatures
(careful with the wrass, they can become aggressive)
