my buddy has a 5in bristle worm in his tank that he's looking to get rid of. i have a tank that has only a coral banded shrimp in there, i used to have a domino damsel but the shrimp caught it and ate it. But now back to the question, I was wondering if i dropped the bristle worm in there, would the shrimp be able to eat it. The shrimp is quite fericious so i know it would def. attack.

thanks

First the shrimp ate a dead or dieing Dimino Damsel. A CBS would not be able to catch and kill a healthy one.

Second, why would your friend want to get rid of a bristle worm. They are great for tanks. Most people pay money to get them for their tank. A CBS may eat it if really hungry.

The damsel was dumb enough to swim under a gap between my live rock and sand. Theres only 1 way in and out. Then my cbs went under also. That was the last time i saw the damsel alive.

As far as the bristle worm goes, his supposedly cured live rock had tons and tons of them.. I just thought it would be a good show if he actaully would eat one.

I read online that cbs do eat bristle worms in the wild so i decided to go ahead and feed it.. It was a pretty good show, however i don't think the bristle worm liked it too much.
