peppermint shrimp and my flower anenome

[Justin]

A few months back i was starting to get over-run with abtacia(excuse the spelling if in error), so I purchased four peppermint shrimp. Well to my contentment they did there job and the critters were kept in check. Now I have recently added a rose(for my tomatoe clwn) and a beautifull green&white flower anenome. The first feeding session for the rose, i noticed that the peppermint were aggressively prodding and poking the rose , and pulled some food out from his tentacles! Needless to say i shewed him off so the rose could eat..But last night I watched another peppermint with the same agressiveness jam his claws down my flower anenome's throat!
It seems to me that after the abtacia aenome's the peppermints' just dont know when to chill. Should I not only be worried that my anenome's may be getting there food stolen, but, will they be on the shrimps' menu themselves?

I don't think the shrimp will eat the anemone however they could be (or definately are) taking food

I don't have an anemone so I'm not really sure what their feeding is like
I mean as long as the anemomes get enough food you'll be okay. I'd worry if the shrimp are getting everything the fact that it reached in it's mouth to get it can't be good either.
hmmmmmm
advice will come
good luck

My skunk cleaner and fire shrimp do the same thing to my button polyps. Now when I feed-- the shrimp just wait near the polyp colony---as soon as a polyp closes up with food---the shrimp jam their claws in there and steal it. If you dont think your anemone is getting enough grub, use the bottle top trick to feed him. Either way I think he will be o.k.-HTH---Anthony
