Territorial Shrimp

Got this cleaner shrimp. It's cool looking and does a good job...., but. Thought it was just being curious at first, then when I was setting a coral, it crawl in my palm and started being aggressive. Surprised me at first then stayed watching it's actions. It's this normal for this type of shrimp?

It was cleaning you. I've had them do that.

agree it is just doing what cleaner shrimp do. You put you hand near its cleaning station so it jumped on and gave your hand a cleaning.

The first few times was like that. The last time was like I don't want you here. Just curious. It is still a cool looking shrimp regardless.
