    Hello Everyone,

    I have a quick question for you guys. The other day when I was observing my tank I watched one of my small acan lord colonies (10 heads) eat a small bristleworm. The worm was about 1 inch in length.

    Is this going to cause harm to my acans? Today they are not inflated and are recessed. Should I be concerned?

    I thank you in advance for you advice.

    Thanks,

    Robert

    Yes, don't worry about it. My coral eat snails all the time. Yummy food for them!

    Wouldn't worry. Probably digesting the worm. Only harm will be to the bristle worm.
