dude 100 dollars, pretty pricy but definelty worth it how does it behave. I just got one too, in my 125, mines rather slugish.
I don't know about leaving the shrimp in there, but I do know that when it gets hungry enough, it will eat.
You should also try to wean it onto frozen food, you can do this by spearing a piece of food on a feeder stick and wiggle it to make it appear like its alive.
Good Luck! Lions are awesome fish!

That's probably the worst diet I've ever heard of, for any saltwater fish.
Not only are those koi pellets worthless, when it comes to nutrition for saltwater fish, but feeding those feeder fish will only lead to liver and kidney disease and death.
You need to do much more research, my friend.
Feeding any type of fresh water food or freshwater fish to saltwater fish isnt a healthy diet and will cause health problems eventually, which is why its good to use stuff marine fish eat, like silversides (even salmon can work), or shrimp
