Duncans will readily take larger food like pellets or mysis. Give it a shot and see if the cleaner attacks him.

If it's roids or cyclops he's after, maybe feed that to the other end of the tank and then feed the duncan. Duncan's close quick so it should be hard for the shrimp to pry any food from it after he wraps the food.

Feed cleaner first then wait for the shrimp to go hide then feed Duncan. Had same problem with my coral banded shrimp when feeding my Duncan.

How much will they close once they close up will it just be like the skeleton left or a little poking out. Cause it had food and closed up but it was still able to loot it. Ill try giving a piece of krill to each, they are pretty but honestly are making me regret getting them. However they are cleaning my wrasse and blenny a lot
