    I saw my skunk cleaner shrimp eat a bristle worm today, is that normal for them? I looked around the tank didn't see any other worms and I had a ton of them!

    Yup, they have been known to eat them. But its more of the exception than the rule in my opinion. generally this behavior can not be counted on if this was the intended result.
