Should I worry?

Should I worry about bristle worms attacking my new Xenia and green BTA? I have read previous posts some say yes and others no. Just thought I could get some clarification. Since it is my first coral and my first anemone.
Thanks

no worries unless the coral dies.

 

Worms and most inverts only clean up what is dead or dieing IMO. I wouldn't worry about it at all

That is what i thought, but I figured I would ask.

Thanks for the replies,

If you have a very large amount of these worms It could be a sign of over feeding the tank .. Like with any animal their numbers are controlled by the available food source especially with scavengers

 

I cut back my feedings to every other day or every third day depending on my work schedule. Before (about 2 years ago) I feed every day: . My tank looks so much better since I stopped feeding so much and started changing the water every two weeks. Still might be to much since there are a fair amount of bw's.
