I just added a small red skunk cleaner to my new 150g tank. This tank is fully cycled, but is still young. Only other inhabitants are one kole tang, 2 turbo snails, and 2 dwarf scarlet hermit crabs.

Everything looks good in the tank, but I haven't seen the shrimp feeding. All water quality tests are great and I don't think he is stressed, he just hasn't learned to come out and grab a piece of flake food or forzen mysis. He's still very shy and young, only about 1.25" long. I do see a lot of copepods on the live rocks. Will he eat copepods and will that be enough until he is big and bold enough to chase a piece of prepared food?
