will shrimps eat pods and worms?

[petemichelle]

okay, I had a pod explosion. everywhere I look at night there are pods. all the inverts seem to be getting along with them or at least not making any affect on the total population. I have no fish as yet in this tank. I am about to make a transfer of the critters from my bio cube. does anybody know if shrimps, I have 1 blood red shrimp, and 1 skunk shrimp , will eat the pods and or worms? again, I just would hate to find out that the critters I add might wipe out all the work I've done so far. please any helpful response would be great, actual experience most appreciated.

I have a seahorse tank with pods and peppermint shrimp don't seem to be affecting the population at all.
