Just because your shrimp was being eaten by a worm, doesn't mean it's 'war on worms day'. Most worms are valuable, such as what you are seeing now.
Your shrimp was not 'caught' by the worm. Worms are opportunistic and shrimps are very quick.
IMO, keep an eye on your tank and check your params.
Your shrimp probably passed and the worm is trying to help you through an ammonia spike.

I wouldn't worry about the worms. When I shine a flashlight to my tank at night, they are EVERYWHERE!!!!! I've yet to have blamed them for any deaths. They are scavengers... and as stated, will eat the dead stuff, helping your tank. I found a dead fish yesterday (damnit) in a hard to get at spot, and thought "ah, screw it... worms will get it!"

Thanks for the advice, you're probably right, the shrimps didn't like threesomes.

They lack a sense of adventure I guess
