I use to hand feed my lion, krill and silversides. Start him on live feeders then slowly ween him over by flicking the dead food, giving it motion, they will hit it. They always hit it head first, make sure krill, or silversides still have head and eyes on it. As for ornimenatl shrimp, i use to keep a cleaner, coral banded and blood red shrimp in the same tank. He never bothered them. They are awesome fish with tons of personality. Good luck....
