Default question about my cleaner

i have a cleaner shrimp and i'm not too sure he's getting enough to eat when i feed the fish brine shrimp. so i was wondering if anyone knows what the best kind of food to feed the shrimp is. I was thinking of buying something like frozen squid and feeding little pieces to the shrimp. or do i even need to? any help/advice would be greatly appreciated.

Brine Shrimp are notoriously nutritionally poor food. Get Mysis or other foods, like frozen plankton etc.
