fishlovr: harlequin shrimp

[kpk]

Hey fishlovr, just wondering if you could tell me a little about your shrimp.
How they act, how much and how often you half to feed them, etc.
Anything i need to know before getting some. I know most of the basics, eating starfish etc.
Thanks,
Kyle

I have not kept these little happy guys just yet, but I have been giving it a fair amount of consideration. How to combat the need to feed.
Perhaps since starfish grow back their arms, a reef-keeper could keep a fair amount of starfish like a linkas in their 'fuge. Sever a small piece of arm to offer to the shrimp. The snrimp is small and the starfish won't feel a thing. Between 4-5 starfish this cycle should offer a solution.
I know, a bit Dr Frankenstienish.
