Peppermint shrimp eating mushroom coral???

[marknash]

so we took the plunge today and purchased our first corals for our tank.. we got a few green striped mushrooms, and some button polyps. we put them in and they both appear to be doing well opening and such.. but our peppermint shrimp keeps picking at our mushrooms? are they supposed to eat these? is he gunna eat all of em? we had originally got the peppermint for aptasia.. but i didnt realize it would pick on our new mushroom.. is this normal? or has anyone else had this problem before?
