This isn't the first time I have seen this but I got some pictures this time. Basically the high grade CRS was dragging the Planaria around the sponge and then the lower grade came along and they both started pulling on it and then the highgrade grabbed it back for himself. I looked and from everything I could tell the shrimp was grabbing the Planaria and not the other way around, the planaria appeared to try to get away a few times also.

shrimpy tug o' war?
 
Shrimp vs. planaria, huh? Given that choice, I'll vote for shrimp. Easy choice.. lol. (I'm not a big fan of planaria.)

These are remarkable photos! What a great thing you were able to capture this on camera.
 
Not sure how the fight ended as it was getting late and the shrimp started wondering to the back of the tank. I know you could see what looked like tears in the side of the planaria that was probably the result of the pulling or picking by the shrimp
