Hungry Watchman, nips at my corals.

[Preble]

Is it a normal for a watchman goby to nip at corals, and possibly eat my small pistol shrimp.
He always acts hungry, I feed pellets for 2 days and LRS one day.

I saw home chasing my pistol shrimp around, I thought that was a little strange.

Maybe he has holes in the bottom of his feet, just don't really like home nipping at my corals.

The coral on the right is his favorite to much on.

They sometimes nip corals but not to eat them.It shoudnt do any harm to the coral even if it nips it because it doesnt bite to feed with the coral.Its a beautifull fish and they are peacefull so i doubt he eated your shrimp unless the shrimp wasnt extremely small.I think he just chased the shrimp a litle but he didnt killed it.Also he doesnt look like its starving.Feed him with pellets and should be ok.
