I bought a pederson shrimp off of LA and it came this morning, it was extremely small and I am worried it will get eaten by my clownfish (it is like 1/2 of an inch) I don't want my clownfish to get a $40 meal. Thanks
 
You could quarenteen it until it grows out. Or do an in tank quarenteen using a plexiglas hang on chamber. You can feed seperate etc.

Ok I'll try that thank you!!
 
I would place a small tank rock and / or plastic pipe, open to each side, for him to hide. Good luck.

Specifically this one by Alfie Pets. I got this one instead of the one the other user posted because I was afraid the hole in the top would be large enough for shrimps to swim out. I currently have to rest it on top of rocks for it to properly stay. Maybe the other one has fine suction, but the two big holes kind of make it not very useful for tiny shrimps.

I have a breeder box that he is residing in currently the clowns don't seem that interesting in him at least
