Cleaner Shrimp eat bristle worm???

[dtoh]

late last night saw this bristle worm on the sand bed crawling . A while later, saw one of my cleaner shrimp holding on to something with one end it the mouth and the other end wriggling. Upon closer look, it was the bristle worm.

saw the worm wriggling occassionally but the cleaner shrimp held tight. only watch for awhile... then go to bed.

Does anyone encounter this before?? did not know that cleaner shrimp eat live bristle worm.

Saw my cleaner shrimp did that before, but only to a dead bristleworm. Of late my peppermint shrimp is spotted trying to catch the resident bristleworm from its hideout.

The above-mentioned shrimps are by large savengers but they are after all still carnivorous creatures, so its no surprise that they are adapted with the ability to hunt.

Many years back it was one of the first sights I remember of my first reef!

My cleaner shrimps fighting a big bristle worm, they both were quite big and the worm did not give up easily , but ended up after a very long time as the cleaner's dinner.
