Harlequin shrimp vs cleaner shrimp

I can guarantee you that the harlequin was not eating the cleaner shrimp.
The OP stated the Harley was indeed pulling the dead shrimp by the antenna suggesting it was going to eat it.;)

That's an awfully big conclusion to jump to. Just think about that for a second. Shrimp and other crustations are well known to use their claws to move objects for a number of reasons. A pistol shrimp holding a piece of sand in its claw does not indicate in any way that it intends to eat that piece of sand.
