    frogspawn and peppermint shrimp

    how would you be able to tell if its eating the coral vs eating stuff on and around its mouth. Its not accually picking the inflated polyps off, it did one time but I think it was trying to pick the mucasy stuff off. Can the shrimp injure the mouth of the coral?
