Peppermint shrimp hurting anemone?

[NullReference]

Hello,
I've had both of these guys in my tank for quite awhile but recently the anemone decided to relocat itself.

Is this peppermint shrimp causing harm?

Threw a video up so you guys could see what it's doing.

Thanks

Wow my peppermint shrimp chills close to my BTA I should keep an eye on them.

That is definitely not good. I would get a strawberry crate or other mesh container and cover the anemone to protect it. Or remove the shrimp. But it is probably just picking on the anemone because it is extremely sick and possibly dying. They aren't supposed to be all white like that.

Same thing happened to my anemone and peppermint shrimp so I just took out the shrimp.

one of my peppermints does that, but only when I feed the GBTA a nice big chunk of table shrimp.. When the GBTA eats, the shrimp ****es off, or maybe he's getting stung to hell.. who knows, but other than that he never bothers the GBTA.

I had an cleaner shrimp nearly pick an RBTA to death.. Thing is, a scavenger is gong to scavenge, and when they find a nice sticky spot in the tank where things they like to scavenge build up, its hard to blame them for doing so. I moved my RBTA to a species tank specifically for this reason. Personally, I had never read about this happening before it happened to me, but logically, I'm surprised it doesn't happen more often.

+1 on the container. Never seen my peppermints do that.

I have a small dinner plate size rbta that was anchored in a hole in a rock for well over a year... Once all the aptasia was eaten the shrimp would go up the bottom of the hole and pick at the foot just like ur video, till the nem had enough and moved. Now the pep picks at the tentacles on the side of the nem... I took the pep out of the tank and after about a week the nem went right back to his "hole".
