Skunk cleaner shrimp picking on goby

[Balix]

I just added a yellow watchman goby into the tank and the skunk cleaner shrimp went to go meet it right away. At first it brought out it's antennas towards it then suddenly tried to pick up the goby and it did that for a few inches and the goby got loose. Seems like it was trying to chomp down on it to eat it lol. It tried three times and gave up. Wish I had taken a video of it then.

Was it trying to clean the goby?

No, I've seen it clean my clownfish sometimes. I think my goby was just very still and thought it was dead as in food.
