    I love watching these guys eat. They remind me of ants how they are so small and can eat and lift something 10x their weight and size. Had some fun with my camera after the whites went off.

    Can you feed a harliquin shrimp anything but starfish? I've wanted one a long time but was worried about the starfish intake as I hear that is all they will eat.
