Chalice eating a bristle worm?

[cocoaandme]

So I came home to see what I thought was a bristle worm attacking my mummy eye chalice. But upon closer inspection I realized the chalice was eating the bristle worm (or at least that's what it looked like to me). Has anyone seen this happen before?

I am now hoping that my chalice can get some nutrients from the numerous bristle worms in my tank. Any thoughts? Also I wonder how it managed to catch the little guy?:spin2:

Thanks! It seems to be a hearty eater. At night the feeding tentacles extend about 2 inches.

Wow really? I never thought to do that. I always thought the corals would get irritated by them. Did you ever have any problems with the acans getting upset by eating bristle worms?

It's an original mummy eye chalice.
