Peppermint shrimps stressing mini maxi anemone?

[iLikeAlgae]

Hi everyone.

I recently added 2 peppermint shrimps to battle aiptasia infestation in my 15 gallon tank.
I also have 2 maxi minis which for some reason, like to settle on darker side of the tank and stretch for light(Not sure why they don't just move to brighter area).
Two peppermint shrimps immediately took shelter under the elongated part of the anemone,
and would constantly bother it by walking over it and touching the tentacles, making it contract non stop throughout the day.
Even worse is, when I feed anemones, shrimps would immediately steal food from them.

Mini maxis are the my favorites in the tank, and I am big concerned if shrimps are "stressing" them too much.
Should I take the shrimps out?

Normal behavior for shrimp. Some shrimp are butt heads. I'm sure they are stressing the mini carpets.

Ah I see. Do you think I should remove them then? I saw a picture of smaller shrimp(Sexy shrimp I think), living fine on top of anemones.

Thats a hard call if they are actually eating the aptasia?

No change in aiptasia population but to be fair its been about a week since they were introduced.
