They're good for the tank. Overpopulation is always a function of excess food present in the tank. Reduce their food source and you'll decrease their numbers, or issue extra permits and increase the bag limit.

Its not even really overpopulation. I just don't like them. I usually pull a few out every week I put them in my sump.

don't know why - they are beneficial

why take something out of the balance of a healthy reef?

Cause they always find my zoas and make them close up

But they are eating unwanted food that would otherwise rot.

Ya I guess..... I will leave them alone then unless they get out of hand. My problem is that since I dont have any fish other than 2 clowns. So when I feed the corals there is nothing in there to eat the food that flies when the pumps turn back on.

Have some fish in the QT now though that are eating well there

Look up goat fish. Keep bottom tank clean, eat bristle worms. Might eat ur worm too

Nassarius snails do a great job with sand and will keep spaghetti worms away.
When they are finished they disappear back into the sand.

I have some nass snails

I don't think either tank is large enough for a goatfish.

If it's a shallow bed you could always start to partially siphon it during water changes. That would help reduce the worm population and their food.

Thanks Jared
I think I will just deal with the few that are there, and once in a while pluck the extras out and throw them in my sump
