Ricordea Mushroom Tries To Catch Cleaner Shrimp

[maidenfan]

so i'm sitting watching tv big lights go out on tank to leave my moonlights on my cleaner shrimp comes to glass to say hi as i'm looking in tank then moves on to my large mushrooms and walks across one of them within a couple of seconds the shroom closes up the shrimp jumps onto the next which does the same he thinks its time i was outta here and flies off to the back of the tank

i know these mushrooms are canivourous as well as photosynthetic but thought they just took small particles out of the water as you feed your fish never thought they would try catch my shrimp

can you target feed these if so what on small stuff like frozen mysis of or could you try mussels etc

You definately can. They love the odd meaty meal.
