You sure your plant is not dead before the Yamato chew on it?

I just started a new shrimp tank two weeks ago and bought a pair of yamato shrimps to take care of any algaes growth in the tank. Thank goodness, no signs of algae yet. However, the shrimps are chewing up my beautiful Alternanthera reinecki, leaving leaves with holes. What should I do? Should I feed them with some shrimp pellets to see whether they stop munching the plant? Give them up for adoption? Apart from the yamatoes, I have some red fire shrimps and nerite snails which are not causing any troubles.

No, I don't think so. I sourced the plants from Tropica and they were doing well the first week. However, holes and shredded leaves started appearing the second week. The other plants staurogyne repens and monte carlo are doing well. I have a high-tech setup for a small tank 13L with CO2 around 30ppm and 6-hour daylight. Weekly 30% water changes and fertiliser dosing.
I had same problem. Yamato chew my AR...not able to stop them...
