So I have been getting a large colony of bristles in my tank lately, even to the point of buying a coral banded shrimp in hopes that he would keep the population in check. So far he hasn't eaten a single one that we can tell.
So here is one of the many reasons I hate them: tried feeding my anemone a piece of table shrimp, took him about an hour to finally get it all in (piece is smaller than a quarter btw) while I am fending off all the other denizens (cleaner, coral banded, six line, and one clown are still hungry even after generously feeding LRS). Figure he's got it in, so should be good. Go off to eat my lunch, come back and a bristle had reached into the anems mouth and pulled out the food and pulling it deep into the rockscape.
Tempted to tear whole thing down and replace everything that has holes in it (including a quite a few frags)!
