That is one mean cleaner shrimp, must have been a pit bull in a previous life . I think more likely that shrimp is hungry and well if its smaller than you its probably food.

my cleaner pries them off the rocks and eats them constantly, thought it was normal biology.

Unfortunately, shrimp will devour Stomatella. Cleaner shrimp, peppermints .. it sucks to be a Stomatella when things with claws live in the tank.

That's a hungry shrimpf! Cleaners have been known and do eat snails etc. He's definitely trying to eat it.

So being a Cleaner Shrimp, was he attempting an unsolicited cleaning of this small Snail? YOU DECIDE.

It sucks to be a stomatella period.....everything with a mouth eats them. I had a blennie that used to swim around my tank wearing the shell as a hat :lol:

Gotta love stupid jabs, eh?

Seriously, what do you feed the shrimp? If they don't get enough food, they'll go hunting for things you'd prefer they didn't eat. I target feed mine with mysis, they don't eat their neighbours :)
