I picked up a harlequin shrimp the other day. It is very tiny so for now I have it in a breeder box and have been picking off 3-4 stars a day for it to eat. Making sure there is always 1 star with it. My question is what can I put in the box to make sure it is comfortable? I was thinking a piece of rock or maybe some coral or macro algae? I want to eventually move it into main display but it is nice being able to see it and I am afraid I will not once it is released. Will it be happy in breeder box for a while or am I being selfish keeping it in a little box so I can see it better?

small piece of rock or even a PVC elbow as they hide quite a bit.
