Help me please!

I am pretty new to saltwater tanks. im just a couple months into it. I have a major problem. The problem is Bristle worms, some people said they were not to bad until they get out of control in my tank. well they are getting out of control. They are every where in there, they even come out during the day, when the light is on. I bought a arrow crab, had him for month and he wont eat them either. What can i do to get these worms out of my tank?

First, understand the dynamic balance that bristle worms thrive on. They consume pretty much any organic matter - left over food, fish feces, floating algae, anything. When a tank gets overrun with bristle worms you can use bristle worm traps that you can buy at any lfs, but the bigger problem is that there is too much organic matter in the tank. Try feeding less, changing water more frequently and monitoring nitrogen waste levels closely. If you trap too many of the worms and don't cut back on the addition of organic matter to the tank then water conditions will go to h--l.
