Just figured I would bring a new discovery for feeding options for this shrimp to the top. I don't know how many others have a creature like this and it might help for ideas if you don't have fish on hand.

I noticed he eats the eyeballs of fish he has killed first then the innards. I was making puffer food out of whole squid and had an idea. I cut the tenticles off and kept just the head with the huge squid eyecballs for the mantis.

Well what a hit. He snaps it off the feeding stick and feasts on the eyeballs. Whatever is left is eaten by the gorrilla crab that resides with him.

I have a ton of eyeballs in the freezer for him and give him one every other day. He still gets live damsels but seems content with the squid.
