Cleaner shrimp

[tclark828]

I was just curious if i have to feed my shrimp directly, or if he just eats left over food. I have him and 5 chromis and 120lbs of live rock

The one I had used to find food on his own, but hand feeding them is cool because they will come right up and take it from you

I've never had to directly feed any of the cleaner shrimp I've owned, but they are fun to watch if you do squirt a little food in their direction. Mine used to go into what looked like a seizure, twitching all over the place as it tried to catch the mysis shrimp I'd put in the tank.

I handfeed all of my fish and my shrimp jump up on my hand when they see it coming so it can get its food.

i have a cleaner shrimp and he eats anything on the sand, and he also munches at feeding time, stealing my fishes food
