I work from home and my aquarium is behind my desk. This afternoon I looked over at my aquarium and Pepe the Peppermint Shrimp walking towards my toadstool coral, he jumped on the toadstool coral and acts like Animal from the Muppets playing drums and then leaped off.
I think my toadstool is molting and he just pulled dead skin off the coral, but it was the strangest thing to watch. What was my shrimp doing?
 
Who knows lol, lots of explainable things happen in our tanks. Inverts will frequently walk over corals though, thats normal.
