Spirobid Worms

Any way to get rid of these, like a predator of some type, or maybe with water chemistry?

I found them to be self limiting, where they went through an explosion stage and are very few now in my tank. They are considered healthy filter feeders for a reef tank. I kept the walls clean and allowed them to populate the back glass like a space galaxy. Once I noticed they weren’t continuing to spread so quickly, I scraped the back glass. It’s now populated with microscopic algae and looks clean minus about a dozen or so that don’t appear to be growing in numbers.

Self limiting, sounds like me in my college years.
