My starry blenny likes to nip at my shrimp. So far only real damage is part of an antennae. What do? Get rid of blenny?

I wonder if they are both trying to claim the same space. But, if one doesn't give in soon, shrimp will be on the menu.

This is all it was. They were together before but I actually downsized their tank a couple days ago. They aren’t bothering each other anymore. Thank you

How big is your tank? If space is tight, this would be a definite reason.

It’s just 14 gallons with a ton of rocks and otherwise just a pair of clownfish. The blenny likes to guard a very particular hole in a rock

I’m going to buy even more rocks. Might as well pile it even higher because the top half of the water column is completely unoccupied with coral or anything else
