Control them by feeding the fish less or filtering more. They are living off waste food in water. They are performing you a service, keeping that food from breaking down inthe water.

Some of these worms are pretty cool and have pretty feeding fans sticking out of their hidey holes. If you don't like the ones you have you might purposely import some cooler ones to compete for the available food.
