They're just like any other anemone shrimp.

They prefer an anemone (but if there are clowns in it they will stay away completely most of the time). I think they will host any anemone as mine has hosted in bubble tipped, long tentacle and haitin reef anemone (this one was it's least favorite)
If there isn't an available anemone, they will commonly host in branching and LPS corals and some others.

They will scavange off of what the other fish/things in the tank eat like flake and pellets, mysid etc.

I had one for a while and another species-urocaridella for a long time until the one jumped out of the tank ? ? I have a pic

I've lost four different periclimenes shrimp to jumping. I wouldn't put them in any uncovered tank.

And my tank is well covered, it jumped through the little 'slot' where the heater's wire comes out.
