Generally yes, hyposalinity will tend to kill pods and bristle worms.

If you have a FO tank, using hyposalinity is about the most non-invasive treatment you can do.

If you have a reef or FOWLR, you should never ever treat that tank, not even with hyposalinity.

In your specific case, I'd keep an eye on the tang, feed it well, and see if it recovers on it's own. If not, and you need to treat, remove the fish that are infected to another tank, and treat there. It's the only good way.

At the risk of repeating myself on this thread, never ever medicate a reef tank, AND there are no reef safe medications despite what your LFS tells you or what is printed on the package.
