is there a way to catch bristleworms from my display and put in my clown breeding tanks
Wrap some food in a clean cloth. The worms will find it and can then be easily transferred by moving the cloth (or nylons) to the new location.

but yeh on this subject.
DO NOT TOUCH THE WORMS
they are irritating lil things, when ou touch them they send tiny spines into your fingers which dont necessarily hurt, but irritates you for agess!
Not necessarily. In reality, featherdusters are a type of bristle worm and I've touched them with absolutely no pain whatsoever. Of course, these are not the type of worms you are referring to and the hobby has trained us to use general terms to describe specific organisms.
Whatever.
Please post some pictures and even though you probably won't be able to save much from this batch, it will be a learning experience.
Good luck pal

Hey Bang Guy, can you explain why you prefaced adding the bristleworm with "you may not like this." Do they eat some of the live larvae? Is there any downside to doing this, because it seems like a great idea.
There is no downside. Many people don't like looking at the worms though. If you use a species that free spawns (releases gametes into the water) then your Clownfish larvae will occationally receive a very nutritious supplement.

that sounds like a plan, i might give this ago at some point, im nearly there! have 1 clownfish atm thats halfway i guess:L
i only bought it cos it's beautiful true perc, about 1.5" and already has full black colours, when i bought it there was only one in the shop so im waiting for another one of similar colour to come in
