Favia ate a bristle worm?

[ROlympia]

It was hanging out of a polyp after I fed the favia some fish eggs. Just wanted some reinforcement that my observation was more or less probable.

Thanks

It's probable..my sun coral does it once in a while

IMHO, a strong possibility is that the bristle worm was plundering the gut sac of the favia polyp for the eggs it just ingested. I bet it ate them all and then went on its merry way.

I had a Duncan eat a bristle worm. Ate half of it, spit out the rest on my bubble and killed the bubble! [emoji35]

That, and that it might be eating the favia were my two other thoughts. However, it seemed to stop moving; I had to leave for work so couldn't stay to find out.

I've had an Acan eat a zoa eating Nudibranch, I was removing it with a chopstick and it feel off and landed in the Acan. It swallowed it up real fast.

I have a plate that once ate a relatively large brissleworm.

I find it hard to believe but anything is possible. I agree it is more likely that the bristleworm was raiding the favia. I see my worms and shrimp doing this all the time.
