I just bought a fire shrimp finding out they are similar to cleaner shrimp. But mine is hiding inside one of my rocks and when I feed it seem like he wants to come out and eat but he never does. Is there a way to fix that will he be alright for a few days. Will he come out eventually should I try hand feeding him or what
 
I've never had a problem with shrimp coming out to eat. As soon as he feels comfortable I'm sure he'll eat. Is anyone bothering him?
You can always use a turkey baster and squirt some food into wherever he's hiding. I would do this very gently so as not to scare him any more.

I'm feeding brine. No nothing's bothering him. Theirs a few fish that want to be cleaned really badly other then that nothing.
 
If you just put him in there today I'd leave him alone then. He just needs to adjust to his new home.
