cleaner shrimp

Last night as I was feeding my anenome. My shrimp decided it was hungry too. Although it had already eaten some other food it went to the anenome sat on top of it and proceeded to take the food away from it. It had to occasionally "lift off" when it would stick to the thing. I was amazed it actually did that. It sat there and ate all the food I had just given to the anenome the swam away when it was all gone. I'm sure the anenome was though.

Re: cleaner shrimp

Try feeding the shrimp first to keep it occupied.I've always give mine a piece of krill before feeding my sun corals.
