Problem? Suicidal? Cleaner shrimp

[sw-newbe]

Alright, soI feed the tank tonight and my BTA ends up catching some Mysis. My cleaner shrimp does a beautiful cliff dive right into theBTA and starts to clean him (trying to get the Mysis). I'm assumig this is okay? A few seconds later, here comes his buddy the Flame Angel who dives right through the BTA ( trying to help his buddy?) Should I be worried about any of this? :thinking:

it means that they are trying to steal the shrimp from the BTA. Not a good thing esspecialy if your lighting is not high enough where your BTA will do fine without feedings. Try spot feeding both animals before fedding the BTA.

No kidding
The BTA gets plenty. Besides the Mysis he steals when I feed the tank I spot feed him Silversides twice a week. I also give the shrimp a piece a silverside when I feed the tank.

The Clowns eat Mysis and Cyclopese like crazy. The shrimp eat anything they can catch. The Flames a little picky, though he does seem to be eating the Mysis
