I have a 12 gallon nanocube with a clown fish, firefish, sea ananome, cleaner shrimp, 3 crabs, and one turbo snail. I have just recenlty noticed that the cleaner shrimp is "poking" the clownfish. The clownfish is in the ananome and the cleaner shrimp goes up and starts to push him down. He only does this when the light is turned off, what is going on? Is this a normal behavoir? What should I do? Thanks for the help:)
 
the cleaner shrimp brobably is smelling something, meybe clown is sick or something else. don't freek out yet, because i'm just guessing
 
maybe a clown has a bug on him that shrimp wants. or maybe he just a nauty shrimp
 
It's funny that your cleaner shrimp is harassing your clownfish because we actually had the exact opposite problem, our clownfish was harrassing our cleaner shrimp. I wouldnt' worry about the cleaner shrimp bothering the clownfish though, he's probably just being a good cleaner shrimp and trying to clean him. As long as the clownfish isn't being hurt, I wouldn't worry too much about it.
