Shrimp Eating My New Coco Worm

[Eric55]

This morning I found my cleaner shrimp munching on one of the 2 heads of my new red coco worm. The shrimp had bitten the head off completely.

The other head of the worm looks fine and still looks beautiful.

Is the worm going to die?

Will the other head grow back?

Thanks for any advice you can share.

I know crabs makes quick work of them. I'm not sure about shrimp. I would like to say, anything with pinchers are unpredictable. When you say "head", do you mean crown. If its the crown, then no worry. It will grow a new one. They throw their crown all the time (most of the time stress related). Keep an eye on it for now. Wish you luck.
