Coral Banded Shrimp Question

[Labrat]

Previously I was unaware that anything would eat bristleworms but today I was watching my tank and my coral banded shrimp grabbed something off his rock and scuttled down the bottom. When he stopped I saw that he had a bristleworm in his pinchers! I laughed because I thought he would never be able to eat it. But he ripped all the bristles of the worm and ate it while I watched. I was wondering if this is something that coral banded shrimp do or if mine's just crazy. Help?

No its normal the man at my LFS said it when I bought mine he said staight up they eat bristle worms. I have never seen mine eat one but he picks at the rocks eating things i cannot see.
