Was browsing through some sites and came upon striped shrimpfish again, which I was always interested in keeping but never pulled the trigger. I'm planning on setting up a 34 hex tank for my leopard tobies, maybe a possum wrasse, possibly some jawfish. Anybody have experience?

I have kept them a few times, never for very long. They eat way more new born brine shrimp than I care to hatch. You can see them here in the video.

They will eat a little frozen but have habits like seahorses and need to eat constantly.
 

Looking back to your reefing roots: Did you start with Instant Ocean salt?
