Do Chromis fish eat bristleworms?

[MVIT]

Several weeks ago I bought 2 Chromis' for my tank. They were sold to me as "orange line chromis" or something like that. I see no orange color to them at all they are actually a bland olive color that changes slightly in the lighting. I bought them mainly for thier peaceful schooling nature.

Anyway.......I used to have a ton of bristleworms which in my opinion are great scvenger/cleaners, and now I am hard pressed to see any. All my inverts are doing great,my corals are happy, I still have a bunch of spaghetti worms and mini-dusters,yet not a bristleworm in sight.(I do see some in the sump however).

I believe I read somewhere that a type of chromis eats bristleworms,although I can't remember which type.

Anyone here of this?

Thanks

Yup, a lot of chromis and damsels will eat bristleworms

never really had bristleworms until one day i fed my tank some raw shrimp and saw my 1st.huge s.o.b. too..i noticed the nassarius eating some shrimp and a b.w. came and snatched the shimp and took 3 of the snails with him too.i couldn't believe it until the next day when i saw the 3 empty shells in the exact same spot.haven't seen it since but i never witnessed my green chromis eat any.maybe they do cuz even my old 65 never had any bristleworms...all my other friends with tanks have huge 1s all the time...

I never had big ones just a bunch of inch long ones.

Massive decline in population so I guess they do eat them. My blue damsel never bothered with them but these guys apparently do.Probably took out my shrimp as well.....

Thanks
