Tonight I observed something I have never seen before. A bristleworm seemed to be eating a piece of red bubble algae. It ingested it and you could even see the bulge of the bubble as it moved down the length of its body. It then proceeded onto another piece of red bubble algae completely covering it with it's mouth parts, tearing it off and swallowing it.
Has anyone else seen a bristleworm do this? I didn't know that bubble algae was part of their diet!
