Have you checked for nudis? They're nasty little buggers.
What are your water parameters?

How long have you had the colonies in your tank? What are you testing for? Any chance we could see a pic? Is your temp stable?
I personally wouldn't worry about the bristle worms. They are just cleaning up what has died. They're actually a benefit to you. Some asternia stars will munch on your polyps but I don't think that would explain your coraline dying.
