Hi, I've just got a sebae anemone, he seems to be adjusting ok, except for one thing - there is always a fire shrimp hanging out right next to him. I am not sure but it looks like he keeps picking on the anemones tentacles, is there anything i can do, i chased him away but he keeps coming back. Should I be worried and is there anything I can do, the other thing is I fed it some krill and the shrimp stole a small piece out of his tentacles. Also it looked like the anemone was stinging the clowns a little hard b/c they looked like they were initially shocked everytime they touched him, but after feeding there was no problems. So 2 part question: should I be worried about the fire shrimp clipping on it, and (2) should I be worried about the clowns or is it normal?

Shrimps will do that, he should start to ignore it after awhile just make sure the anemone gets to eat the first week or so after that it should be able to hold its own against the shrimp. The clowns do need a period to get used to the anemone's stings and produce adequet mucus to protect themselves.
