So I noticed when I feed (I don't use feed modes just yet) that both of my shrimps (fire and cleaner) will both eat directly from a target feeder. Both will go after free floating food within a reasonable distance. Almost immediately after, my cleaner has figured out to comb the filter on my mp60's for stuck food and my fire shrimp sits on the rocks hungry and stupid. Interesting...

That’s pretty awesome my two cleaners are scavengers it’s crazy how much food they would eat if I let them.
