I just bought another cleaner shrimp and hes gone already. I was wondering, since my current fish have grown, could their diet change to include shrimps?

I didn’t realize how large my fish have gotten over the years, and how small fish and shrimps are at the store. The tangs and Flame Angel used to be ‘cleaned’ here and there, and no fish showed aggression towards then (that I know of). I really liked my shrimps feeding the corals. Also, this time, a yellow tailed damsel is tending to eggs. The shrimp did wonder close to her, and I shooed it away. The damsel kept picking at it. I don’t know if this was the problem this time. While I’m asking you questions, do damsels raise young, <> or do I need to add a special food to feed them? I have DT’s and phytoplankton, and my LFS now carries copepods. Or is it even worth trying to raise fry.
