Skunk Cleaner Shrimp bothering GBTA?

[$eaba$$]

Hey guys,

Right now, my pretty new GBTA is doing great! I will post pics soon. I just have a quick question. As of now, I have fed the GBTA a piece of krill once every three days or so. Sometimes, when I put the the krill in the anemone, the food sticks well, and the tentacles pull it to its mouth. Then, today, my skunk cleaner shrimp dove into the anemone when it was curling up, and snagged the krill away from it. I then managed to scare off the shrimp and chase it down, and it let go of the krill haha. I then fed it to the GBTA and it gobbled it down. I know it is getting food every time I feed it, as I watch it actually eat it and watch that the shrimp doesn't get the food, but I was just wondering; does this cause stress for the GBTA or is it pretty normal? Also, at times, the shrimp will just randomly walk over the GBTA to get to the other side, should this irritate the GBTA?

Thanks!

It all sounds natural to me...try feeding the shrimp a piece of krill also right before you feed the nem to keep him occupied...

seabass come on, dont be silly... youre anemone is fine. If you want to take care of that annoying shrimp, I suggest getting a carpet anemone. Eventually your problems will be completely gone...and you wont have to feed to carpet nem for a while...

I give mine a small piece of shrimp first to keep him busy, then give the anemone a bigger piece.

It has always made me uncomfortable that shrimp eat shrimp...
