Has anyone ever had this happen. I have two tanks one 15 for my mantis and a 30 gal. I have had both my tanks for over a year now. I notice how the bristle worms are over taking my tank in the 30 gallon. I actually find them really neat but am kind of getting "freaked out" by how many there are now. I have never seen any in my Mantis tank. So I thought I would catch some from the 30 gallon and throw into the 15 gal. Well as soon as I started throwing them in with the Mantis he started grabbing them and just beating the "heck" out of them and looked to be eating them. Now I know he isn't starving as I had just fed him so it wasn't like that was his only choice for food. (not to mention there are crabs and snails in there with him and he leaves them alone) So I began wondering if that was the reason I have never seen any bristle worms in there, that he is eating them.
