Coral Banded Shrimp behavior

[dacia]

My CBS "beheaded" one of my feather dusters in the 35 gallon tank. Is this normal? I already moved the remaining dusters to the clownfish tank just in case the CBS decided to eat another rather than the food I bought for him.

CBS eat bristle worms, and featherdusters are worms as well so it wouldn't suprise me, although I have never actually heard of them doing this.

 

[lionstorm]

haven't heard of this either, mine never bothered any of my feather dusters.

I watched him do it. He just walked over to the feather duster, opened up his claw, and SNAP!
The next day there was nothing left...
I think the others look better in the clownfish tank anyway:

Try feeding your cb shrimp pellets or krill, and maybe he will leave things alone

My feather dusters "mysteriously" started disappearing when a cbs was introduced. I've been told arrow crabs eat them too.

I never knew you had a cbs???

Feather dusters regenerate themselves?
I noticed that my duster which was beheaded now has a small growth...it seems to be growing back. Or is it that I just have a new one?

My CBS hasn't found my featherduster yet. He's just sitting in one corner and not moving. He use to move all over the place.
