Default What fish delights in eating bristleworms?

I am trying to get a concensus about what fish will make a diet of bristleworms? I mean really, really like to eat them...(a lot).

only problem ive encountered with a 6 line is you wont be able to add any other wrasse's fairies or flashers' . {wrasse's are my favorite fish have 7 diff species } ive lost $500 in wrasse's because of a six line personally id get a Halichoeres chrysus, ive had mine for almost 2 yr's, very nice colors once it reach's adult, non aggressive, never bothered shrimps or hermits

I have other wrasses, but none go after bristleworms like my checkerboard wrasse. Big or small ones, no matter. It's also a Halichoeres wrasse. It gets bigger and slightly more aggressive than Halichoeres chrysus, which i also have, but as such eats more and bigger worms. But hey, you've got a big tank.

I vote for the six-line wrasse if you don't plan to add anymore fish to the tank.
Is there a reason you want to get rid of bristleworms in your tank? They're excellent scavengers, and detritivores
