Goby and Saddleback

[Eve]

Okay guys, so I know saddleback fishies are aggressive or at least semi aggressive. Lately, I have been noticing that the saddleback has been bothering the goby and pistol shrimp, but not attacking the goby, just getting next to him and just swimming around him. However, the saddleback it is attacking the shrimp. It is weird. I recorded a video. Also, the goby has been swimming around the tank, leaving the shrimp by himself for like 10 minutes.. is this normal?

Part of the dominance issues with clowns is that they establish hierarchies with other clowns, but this also can turn into a fixation on other animals or corals so attacking the shrimp is unfortunate but not surprising. I'm not sure about the goby/shrimp connection.
