Is it common for a pepermint shrimp to "host" an anemone? I put host in perentheses b/c idk if what my shrimp is doing is actually hosting I know some shrimp can host anemones I just don't know if pepermint shrimp are one of them. Ok so I put my BTA in my tank a while ago, after a little bit in the tank the BTA hid under a rock and then after a few days it starting to come out and then go back in after a while and all this seemed normal from everything I've read but what didn't seem normal was my pepermint shrimp would follow the BTA no matter where it went and now even when the BTA as settled the shrimp hardly ever leaves it's side, but the shrimp never goes in the anemone and doesn't even touch the tenticals and that's what makes me confused it only stays by it's side and sometimes goes under the part that the tenticals are on. Is this considers hosting?

The peppermints I had stayed near the anemone because it could get food from the anemone.I have seen them take food from the mouth of my rbtas.

+1, your peppermint shrimp is stealing the food your bta is catching.
