What do you feed your sexy shrimp?

[kclauser]

I have a trio of sexy shrimp in a BioCube14 and so far they seem to be doing fine. I have had them for a week maybe two and have just dropped a few mysis in their tank when ever Im feeding my other tank and I have never seem them eat so I was wondering if this is necessary. Do I need to feed them at all and if so what are you feeding that works?

I have a 24 nano with about 7 sexy shrimp, a green clown goby, a white ray goby/tiger pistol pair, and a many banded pipefish. I feed the pipefish cyclopeze, and the fish flake or frozen depending on the day. The sexy shrimp pretty much eat whatever I throw in the tank. They seem to go crazy for the frozen food, but will eat the flakes too. The tank is probably going on 9 months with the sexy shrimp and they are doing fine.

i've been keeping sexy shrimps for a year. i think it's better to feed them frozen food a couple times a week unless u overfeed your fish and coral than they might have a chance getting uneaten food. on the other hand, if they are staying with their favourite coral, like mine, i just feed d coral regularly and they sure get their share ; )

Hopefully I can assume that me feeding some cyclopeze and mysis every other day or so is enough then.

I got about 8 of them in my mantis tank. They eat whatever bits and pieces the mantis throws out as well as picking off detritus on the live rocks in the tank.

Small pieces of grocery seafood, sometimes - smallest pellets.

Tank pictures, please?

Frozen foods a couple of times per week. They will eat just about anything.

they do well without the anemone?

Mine lived in the white xenia, hiding in the bush - the same idea.
