my coral banded shrimp is eating a bristle worm

[loyalty]

i happen to glance over at the tank and right now, at 3:02 AM, my coral banded shrimp has a fat bristle worm in one pincher and he's munching on it with his feeder pinchers. is this normal?

I had a coral banded who ocasionally ate bristle worms but did not make a steady diet of them. Is he getting enough other food?

i think so, but this new behavior worries me. i'm gonna bump up his diet just to be safe

Some Coral Banded Shrimp do eat Bristle worms. Many people buy them to do just that. The Arrow Crab is also known to eat them.
