Are my Nems eating their own tentacles

Hello everyone,

Two of my nems are doing this. Are they hungry and eating their own tentacles?

Thank you

It's possible that they are munching on a tentacle.

How often do you feed it, and what?

Overall, I wouldn't worry too much.

When you should start worrying is when you can see it's not healthy.

I seldom feed them. But when I feed them I use fresh oyster or fish pellets

I would expect that it's bringing small particulate to its mouth. That's a natural feeding response and IMO much more likely than auto-cannibalism. You really don't need to feed nems

I agree that it looks like a feeding response. The nem looks healthy so it's not a concern.
