Video of my mandarin eating a frozen shrimp!

We all know how difficult to feed these awesome creatues. I sucessfully trained my Green mandarin eating frozen/live brine shrimp and bloodworms! Its in my 75 gallon with a refugium. I uploaded a 2 videos of it on youtube. Please press mute. There are some dirty words by me and my brother. Sorry about that!! Thanks
