alright, ive had a cleaner shrimp for a few days and it never crossed my mind to actually feed it. i figured it would do fine scavenging. but i just wanted everyone elses input. how do you feed you shrimp?
 
They do scavenge but I think they might need some feeding too. They will eat anything from flakes to frozen. I use a turkey baster to squirt the food in so I can direct some at the shyer creatures. My Caribbean cleaner shrimp are so rowdy they run up to compete with the fish, but my peppermints and fire shrimp stay in their little caves and crevices, so I have to make sure some food gets to them.
 
You can spot feed him with a turkey baster if you would like... keeps him busy as not to harrass other creatures that you are trying to feed at the same time..
