From my exp. I have seen shrimps close or near lta's but with a respectable distance. If the shrimp is really close, then they have formed a relationship like a clown does with it. Mother nature is very unpredictable and adaptable.

the shrimp seemed to be moving, the lta is in rockwork and it makes it hard to see him, hope he is doing ok some days he bigger than others but i don't know how he is getting the light and water movement that they need, but i guess if he wasn't happy he would move. one day he may be tiny like 1.5in around and the tentacles are very thin then the next day he will be 3-4in around and tentacles will be kinda normal looking.
