I believe that as with everything they will wax and wane to the available nutrient (food) in the tank. First thing would be to evaluate the amount of detritus they have to eat and try to - in effect - starve them done to some level. I believe that the six-line wrasse may also be a natural predator, but do some research on that to be sure.
If you can put up with them they are a good clean up critter though.....

I would also think they will only show up in those numbers if they have the food to sustain them. I'd let them be.

The Coral Banded should be eating its fill.
As stated above, the population is dependent on the food available. If you have excess worms you may be overfeeding. If an efficient predator reduces the population for you you will need to find another detrivore to remove the excess food or you could have water quality issues. A cucumber or Fighting Conch could pick up the slack.

I will try the food 1st.
I don't want to add anymore to this tank until I get the new tank up and running.
Thank you all.
