Bayer Advanced Complete Insect Killer or any other coral dip that would would kill of worms that are living in my corals skeleton? I took the steps to remove it from sand bed and place it in another tank with out medium.

In my experience all the ones I’ve used will make them uncomfortable and at least leave-bayer would 100% work. Plus if the coral is dead you can prob use a stronger dose (and rinse with tank water)

Bayer should work to at least make them leave. So will hydrogen peroxide.
But why are you wanting to get rid of the worms in the first place?

Do you have a picture? That does not sound like bristleworms.
