Today I noticed that my cleaner shrimp is "cleaning" my damsels????? The fish seem to enjoy it so I am thinking the cleaner shrimp is not trying to eat them, but I am not sure. Help!

Hello, and welcome to the boards!!! What your cleaner shrimp is doing is "cleaning" your fish. This is what they do, they remove parasites and dead skin/scale tissue. He is doing his job, and the fish love/ respect these cleaners for their services! Everything is fine. That is what they do!
