Puffer / shrimp

[cbrack83]

I have a couple of small shrimp in my tank. I found my Blue Spotted Puffer (only had him in the tank for about 3-4 days)had himself in the back corner of the cave which made me worried. I then notice that the shrimp appeared to be cleaning him... I watch for a few moments and the shrimp left. I then found the puffer swimming around the rock structure and as soon as he saw the shrimp stick his head out on the back side of the rick structure. He then swam right to the shrimp again and let the shrimp start cleaning him again...

Is this normal behavior?

Yes it's normal for the cleaning,but puffers can eat your shrimp. So keep him well feed
