Has anyone ever witnessed thee cleaner shrimp literally pulling a feather duster worm out of its tube and tearing it to shreads? My cleaner shrimp just did!
 
Yup. I had this happen a few months ago after introducing a new feather duster.
Couldn't explain why though, my only thought was that the feather duster must of been on the way out already. interesting that I'm not the only one though.
 
I don't understand why it happened though. They have both been in the tank for a good while and ive never had a problem. I was just sitting on the couch and I watched the shimp go over near the feather duster. The duster was out and pretty. His crown was about 3" wide. Then all of a sudden he jumped on top of it and pulled him out?
