Is it possible?

So I was feed the fish some brine today and I also feed the cleaner shrimp as well. This time when I fed the shrimp, I watched it carry all the brine over to the torch coral and feed it. So my question is, is it possible for a cleaner shrimp to have a symbiotic relationship with a coral such as a torch? I thought they just cleaned fish. It seems as through they are a caretaker of all.

Would be news to me. My cleaner shrimp just steals food from all my corals.

That's the funny thing, it does steal from all my other corals. Im honestly not fond of cleaner shrimp. Little jerks when it comes to that.
