He's a little weird! He's doing ok. He hangs upside down from one rock - doesn't move a whole lot. Until he sees the baster at feeding time. He's all over that. I still think it's wrong for a shrimp to eat shrimp - but to each his own I guess. Whatever keeps them alive!

Every shrimp for himself. I dont know about it either maybe it was just mental.
It is possible and preferrable to have a small clutch of cleaner shrimp. I have three in my tank but I understand it is OK to have as many as 5-6. Mine have set up a cleaning station and jump onto all the fish (except the clowns) including the lionfish. I have never intentionally fed either my cleaners or blood shrimps. They tend to gather all they need from forraging and snatching a bit of mysis during daily feedings. Hope this helps.
