    Shrimp are cool. He'll try to clean your hand if you put it in the tank and keep it still. You'll also be able to feed him by hand.

    Don't be alarmed if you find him dead one day. It just means he molted and it's his old shell.

    My old cleaner shrimp was quite the gentlemen. He unfortunately died in a fatal skimmer accident...(I don't like to talk about it:()
