Nassarius snail ate a bristle worm??

[Stepheng101]

I was feeding my clownfish pellets, and it missed one of the pellets letting it fall to the sand bed. I saw that my nassarius snails were searching for the pellet so I ended up watching them hunt for their food. Then all the sudden I see a tiny bristle worm come out of hiding trying to also get the pellet. The Nassarius snail starts to slide over the worm, and then I see it swallow the bristleworm?! Am I going crazy or did I whitness a snail eat a bristleworm?!

My nassarius died some time ago and it took me a bit to get a new one. I notice the that bristle worms bloomed up, and then when the new nassarius arrived they seemed to die down. I just thought they were eating the young worm and the eggs. Maybe they can eat bigger ones than I thought.

Hey anything can happen in this hobby. My elegance regularly eats massive bristle worms that it catches from the sand bed. Nothing else is touched funnily enough!
