hello
Last night I noticed my cleaner shrimp hanging out on my frogspawn and picking at it. It didn't seem as it was hurting anything but I want to make sure. I have an 8 head (at least) frogspawn and I hear that type of frogspawn that it is, it's a protected species by a couple of people. And aside from that, it's beautiful and healthy and I want no harm don't to it.
Any thoughts on this or experiences? Should I be concerned? I have a 75 Red Sea reefer. Thanks!!!
 
Did you feed the tank before hand? I will notice my peppermint shrimp picking at food the frogspawn grabbed because the shrimp is greedy. Other than that I have never seen it hurt it at all.

When I feed I usually feed the corner where that specific coral is
So some of it may get on it. I do it because there's no rock there to catch the food
 
I wouldn't worry about him, I've come to learn all cleaners are "***holes" as my wife puts it lol. It really enjoys just walking over every coral.
 
My cleaner shrimp digs food out of my coral all the time. Makes ya think it would hurt the coral but it must not they're all fat and happy.
