what does a coral bandit eat?

i need help on what to feed my coral banded shirmp can u tell me what would be good to feed him

Coral banded shrimp are primarily carnivores... so I would recommend mysis, plankton or other meaty foods. When we had a coral banded, we never actually fed it directly. It would just always come out when we fed the fish and pick up the leftovers.

Just make sure some food gets to him once or twice a week and he should be ok. Some are killers of fish. Usually the fish will be dying anyways when it happens. Some i've heard go after them regardless.

Usually if you feed them a small piece of food once or twice a week that should be sufficient. They're not that difficult to keep just watch your salinity and you should be fine.

a small piece of krill on my feeding stick and offer it to him

They eat everything IMO; fish food, prasites, worms, pods, gobies, cleaner and pep shrimps...
I actually dont feed mine... he eats the leftovers!
