So i have a rainbow chalice, doing great, had it about a week. I also have a cleaner shrimp that very quickly learned that the mucus from the chalice has food in in....
Im sitting here with a long pipette jousting with the thing for the last 20-30 minutes while my chalice eats... how long should I protect this thing because of this is a regular thing feeding is going to become a chore haha. I'm hoping that maybe I'll pick up some shrimp or clam to give the cleaner shrimp whenever I feed corals? And if he has a big chunk of something he'll stay full and leave my corals alone(although he only pesters the chalice
 
Exactly, feed the shrimp first
Yea because that got old fast lol, and I enjoy how outgoing he is and don't want him to associate me with fighting :face-with-tears-of-joy:
