I had a friend that would grab bristles with tweezers and hand them right to the arrow he would tear them up!

Arrow crabs will also go after fish, snails and hermit crabs. I wouldn't ever put one in my tank. A friend had one and it was nothing but a bully causing mayhem and destruction...:xd:

I watched it pull the legs off of a hermit just for giggles, didn't even eat it.

Yellow coris wrasses eat bristles like no tomorrow!!

I feed mine live bristleworms just bc its fun to watch!

Arrow crabs and coral banded shrimps eat bristle worms,but both of them have had reports of eating slow,sleeping, or injured fish.......
