Anemone Shrimp - Care?

[gbose]

So I just acquired an anemone shrimp, and he's settled down in my rockflower anemone. Does he need any special care? My LFS says no, and I think he's really knowledgeable, but I'd appreciate any experiences you can share...

Like most shrimp it will scavenge for food in the tank. But, since it is new, you may want to make sure it is getting something to eat, whatever you are feeding your fish or anemone will be fine for the shrimp to eat as well.

What type of anemone shrimp is it?

Liveaquaria has three on their website right now, in the text at the bottom of the "Overview" sections, it does say that you should feed them and provides suggested food types:
Sexy Anemone Shrimp (Thor amboinensis)
White Spot Anemone Shrimp (Periclimenes brevicarpalis)
Venus Anemone Shrimp (Anclyomenes venustus)

Oxylebius,

Thanks! It's a white spot, I believe. Transparent body with white markings - very cute, though tiny.

I'll try spot feeding it fish-food. Thanks!
