I had a Peppermint Shrimp (that my Pygmy Angel LOVED) when I got my Valentini Puffah. Everything was fine for several days, then one afternoon I just happened to look into my tank at the exact right moment, and saw nature take its course. Something clicked, and the Peppermint Shrimp freaked out and started zig-zagging around the front of the tank, out in the open. This caused a massive trigger in the feeding response of not only my Puffah, but my Decorated Goby, as well as my tank-raised Maroon Clown. Yes, even the Clown took a swipe at the Shrimp. It ended up getting its antennae and legs nipped off, etc and eventually fell to the bottom. I took it out.
So I think that about explains it. Its hit or miss really. If the fish doesnt bother it at first, it probably wont take long for it to revert to its natural instinct and go after it.
