The bumblebee shrimp is below the turbo snail

I finally picked up 3 bumblebee shrimps and two of them (not sure what happened to the third) seem obsessed with the snails in my tank. Is this normal. I know there's a symbiotic relationship with Emperor Shrimps and nudibranches and various other things. Is this similar?

Side note, big (not ironic) fan of these little guys. Kind of wish I got more but also kind of wish they were a 1/2" not 1/4".

Also, sorry for the double post. Just learned how to post in specific forums and not sure how to delete this one. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Reef critters, including corals, are like people. They come in all kinds of personalities. Sometimes your neighbor is a great guy, sometimes he's an idiot and sometimes he's just a neighbor. Yes, there are certain trends, but your one shrimp likes snails, it's cool!

Makes it easy to find them at least. I was just curious about the Emperor Shrimp because they stay on nudibranches and so on and feast off their poop. Was curious if it's a similar situation. Couldn't find any information suggesting such a thing.
