Cleaner shrimp issues

[fishytime]

What kind of cleaner shrimp is it? The "skunk" cleaners are usually pretty bold and will set up a station up front, but cleaners like "peppermints" dont like intense light and will tend to hide in a shady area during the "daylight" hours.

sorry it is a skunk cleaner. I think i may try the hand feeding solution which i finally see him again. although if you say there more sociable in pairs i wouldn't mind getting another one. thanks for all of the suggestions

I only have one skunk and he comes out to the front all the time, and crawls over my hands to pick at the skin.
