    I feed my leaf fish liveshrimp I get from the bait shop.He will only eat live saltwater shrimp.Mine is in my reef tank and is about as big as they get.He has not bothered anyone in the tank other than a 2 inch peppermint shrimp I had for about 3 hours.He does have a BIG mouth in relationship to his body.They can and will eat any thing they can get in their mouths-crabs,shrimp,small fish.They are an ambush predator.
