Blood Red Fire Shrimp vs Bristle Worms

[Greatwhite]

I keep my aquarium in my office, and regularly space out while staring at it...

My fire shrimp live on the side of the tank facing my desk, so I watch them a lot.  Last week, I noticed one of the shrimp acting funny.  He ended up pulling a small-ish bristle worm from a hole and tore it apart, eating it as he went.

I've heard of other types of shrimp preying on bristle worms, but never these guys.

The worm may already have been dead too, for all I know.  It was just nice to see one getting torn up...

I'm not one that dislikes Bristleworms. I have them in both my salt tanks and for me are an integral part of my clean up crew. You can't use hermits with morays, they become an expensive snack. Other than snails, the bristles are all that help maintain my 150G...
