Fire Shrimp Feeding????

[djminus1]

Do these guys need to be hand fed or do they scavenge on their own pretty well? I just added one to my tank yesterday, but am leaving for the rest of the week tonight. I have people coming over to feed my fish while I am gone, and am just wondering if I need to have them hand feed the shrimp?
My guess in that hand feeding would not be necessary but I may be wrong. Any suggestions?

Mine doesnt need to be hand fed. As soon as the scent of mysis shrimp get in the current, he comes running out from where ever he is and is right there. I hand feed him a very small piece of krill once in a great while, just because I think it is cool, he will climb all the way up in my hand and sit there and eat it. HE is the coolest!
