I’ve had mine for more than a year and a half. At the time I was brand new to the whole salt world and this was the first sw shrimp I had purchased. I’ve watched him cleaning larger fish and caught him eating smaller fish which I don’t believe he actually preyed upon but was rather just performing his natural CUC duty and opportunistically feeding on the diseased & deceased… The only thing I’ve witnessed him preying on was larger bristle worms which is very entertaining to watch IMHO. It has spent the last year in a rock storage tank with 4 damsels and more recently a yellow tang, they are all very healthy to this day.
