I didn't know that bristleworms would eat chaeto. This worm was in my chaeto patch that was floating on the top of the water. As you can see, it's eating a strand of chaeto! I have scores of the bristleworms in the bottom of my tank, all very well fed, so I was surprised to see this. Anyone else have bristles that eat veggies?
He is just starting to eat this strand:

He's about halfway up the strand now:

The strand is now twisted around and he's following it like spaghetti:
