Anemone and clear shrimp?

[boostin240]

I just recieved my order from SWF.com
two things included in my order were a cleaner shrimp and a Pink Tip Haitian Anemone.
Today i turn the lights on and i see the antenas of my cleander shrimp hanging out the mouth of the Anemone.
I thought they are suppose to be safe together?
Can i not put any shrimp in my tank with the Anemone?
maybe not, haha

Anenome's will eat whaever they can catch. Pink Tip's are known to even sting clownfish that try to host it. You shrimp must have gotten to close.

i figured the shrimp would stay away, does that mean that i cant have any shrimp in there then?

Sounds like the shrimp was just too dumb/curious. I would try another one.

I may go get another to try, hope this one is a little smarter.
So they should know better to stay away then?

All shrimp are curious critters. When mine were first introduced, they picked and played with the anemone's tentacles, and they quickly learned that's a game they don't want to play.
