Completely off topic, but, last night I fed my BTA's some chopped prawn, I had loads extra so I gave a piece to two of my cleaners (apparently, shrimp taste great even to themselves). Anyways, one of them was smart, and went to a corner up the glass to eat his treat. The other stayed on the rock. Well of course within about 5 minutes he had about 12 worms pulling on his "prize." Of course to a shrimp because he has several legs as well as a set of claws, participating in a tug of war while simultaneously eating the tug of war item, is possible, but he did eventually lose (the prawn disappeared into a hole in the rock). So I'm sure this guy is now thinking like your guys shrimps (Bob and Brad), those pesky worms stole his food! (Now there's a twist, a cleaner having HIS food stolen from HIM.). LOL

(PS. I gave him another piece.... )

If you did not mean that as a joke, it would explain the lack of Bristleworms in that tank, and the large size of the shrimp.

No Bob, I did not mean it as a joke. I have watched the shrimp pull bristleworms from the rock and eat them. I was not happy about it. At this point, I cannot find a single worm in my tank.
