They really seem to be living it in there... You should buy some purple coralline... It would suite your tank nicely...

There's a thing called "purple-up" that I know of but there are many different brands.

You could get a rock that has some coralline on it to seed the tank. Some of my frags came like that and now I am starting to get growth on the back wall.

Purple up won't introduce coralline to your tank so unless you have some already you wont get any from using it.

Purple up only contains what your salt mix does pretty much, it's mostly calcium. Now, some people will say it's useless. Me, I tried a test with 4 tanks in my house and to my amazement I actually saw more coralline with the tanks that I used it on. I did this test over a few months and dosed it once a week. Your results may vary......LOL

I also have intense coralline growth in a tank that has not seen purple up so it's dependent on your tanks parameters and a myriad of other things. There's no instant purple if thats what you were hoping. lol

It won't hurt the tank so it;s up to you. You can get a small bottle and test it out for yourself. lol

Haven't had a lot of experience with bristle worms but from what I know if they are small you can try a peppermint shrimp or a six line wrasse.
