Clown going after shrimp

[Troio2]

I have a fairy wrasse and a pair of clowns and they keep going after my cleaner shrimp. They lived with a skunk for about a month, he died yesterday, assuming they killed him. I put a scarlet in there toay and they are nipping at him. Suggestions? I have no problems with water quality or anything. Only other things in the tank are snails and hermit crabs. I feed about 1/2 a cube a day frozen cubes of mysis and/or shrimp. Also have shrimp pellets and algae flakes I put in occasionally.

Most likely they are going to kill it and eat it. Next time add a shrimp late at night when the lights are off. Several months ago I added a cleaner shrimp. My lineatus fairy wrasse and clownfish killed it in 15 mins. The shrimp spent more time drip acclimating in a bucket than in the tank. Was $20 instant loss.

My female clown will chase away my cleaner shrimps and my Peppermint shrimp, not to hurt or eat, just chases them away.

Yeah my clowns will chase away crabs and snails if they come too close to their anemone. What happened before is different. My previous clowns thought cleaner shrimp was food and my fairy wrasse basically had the shrimp torn in pieces.
